CITY LIGHTS LIVE! Max Porter on Francis Bacon

Max Porter in discussion with Peter Maravelis
discussing the novel
"The Death of Francis Bacon"
by Max Porter
published by Strange Light Books
In this bold and brilliant short work of experimental fiction by the author of "Grief Is the Thing with Feathers" and "Lanny," Max Porter inhabits Francis Bacon in his final moments, translating into seven extraordinary written pictures the explosive final workings of the artist's mind. Writing as painting rather than about painting, Porter lets the images he conjures speak for themselves as they take their revenge on the subject who wielded them in life.
