A propos de ce titre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Vincent is an artist. A tortured artist. He suffers from alienation, parental neglect, poverty, depression, alchoholism, illness, nervous breakdowns and, of course, unrequited love. But Vincent's suffering is no accident. Unknown to him, his manager and supposed friend , Harlan, is being paid to make his life as miserable as possible. The reason is simple: the more pain Vincent endures, the greater the art he produces. Torture the Artist is an inspired exploration of the age-old idea that the best art springs from suffering, a chronicle of the sorry state of today's popular culture and a moving account of a highly unusual friendship. At once acerbic and compassionate, hilarious and thought provoking, it establishes Joey Goebel in the best tradition of American comic fiction, a potential heir to Joseph Heller and Kurt Vonnegut.
