Description
Sebastian Zollner is set on writing the biography of the painter Manuel Kaminski. Yet Kaminski - once a pupil of Matisse, now an ailing recluse - is not the kind of character to willingly embrace such a project. And Zollner - inept, charmless, and with scant knowledge of art history - is hardly the man to undertake it. So it's a good job Sebastian has an ace up his sleeve, and that Kaminski will have little choice in the matter...

ReviewsVery funny ... Sparkling and consistently amusing comedy, by turns broad and sophisticated * Daily Telegraph * 'The novel barrels along like a top-of-the-range BMW on a deserted autobahn ... The comedy has a touching, tender precision' * Independent * An accessible and humorous road trip into the worlds of art and journalism, satirising both * New Statesman * 'Witty, shrewd and smartly translated ... Delightful' * Guardian *
