Description

Artist Harriet Burden, furious at the lack of recognition she has received from the New York art establishment, embarks on an experiment: she hides her identity behind three male fronts who exhibit her work as their own. And yet, even after she has unmasked herself, there are those who refuse to believe she is the woman behind the men. The story unfolds through extracts from Burden’s notebooks, as well as testimonies and one thing is clear: Burden's involvement with the last of her 'masks' turned into a dangerous psychological game that ended with the man's bizarre death.

Professional reviews

"A polyphonic tour de force from the internationally acclaimed author that was nominated for the Man Booker Prize ‘This novel is a puzzle, a mystery, a dance, filled with intrigue, a truly wonderful intellectual work that makes you think and laugh and tickles the brain.’ DAILY MAIL ‘The Blazing World is a dazzling novel, the kind that makes you cry (or nearly cry) as well as think’ SUNDAY TIMES ‘It is an exuberantly clever piece of work… a novel that gloriously lives up to its title, one blazing with energy and thought.’ THE TIMES"
