The overlapping reflection relationships between novelist-character-reader/portrait painter-model-viewer are like a mirror with infinite reflections, forming a mirror maze of self and other.

Booker Prize winner, influential British novelist and literary critic AS Byatt explores the subtle relationship between portraits and novels with a concise style and unique perspective, discussing writers ranging from Henry James to Marcel Proust to Iris Murdoch, and artists ranging from Botticelli to Holbein to Manet. This book is both a novel writing notebook and a wonderful guide to portrait art.
