About This Item
Hammersmith, England: Flamingo - Harper Collins, 2000. First printing. Lt. shelf wear. Pages fine. The narrator of Thomas Sanchez's fourth novel teaches art history in America, but he dreams of Europe--or more specifically, of Spain. The Professor (as he identifies himself) specializes in a Spanish painter of the 1940s, Francisco Zermano, to whom he has devoted a spate of scholarly articles. He also spends hours staring at the man's paintings, trying to imagine the stories behind them. This iconographic detective is particularly curious about one bit of recurrent imagery: the body of a beautiful woman, which is rumored to belong to Louise Collard, the painter's muse. 279 pages. Bookstore mark.. First Flamingo Edition. Soft Cover. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Book.
