Available Copies Details Synopsis

Hurtle Duffield, a painter, coldly dissects the weaknesses of any and all who enter his circle. His sister�s deformity, a grocer�s moonlight indiscretion, the passionate illusions of the women who love him�all are used as fodder for his art. It is only when Hurtle meets an egocentric adolescent whom he sees as his spiritual child does he experience a deeper, more treacherous emotion in this tour de force of sexual and psychological menace that sheds brutally honest light on the creative experience.
