How to Paint a Dead Man
How to Paint a Dead Man | Sarah Hall
3 posts | 6 read | 5 to read
From Sarah Hall, the acclaimed, award-winning author of Daughters of the North and The Electric Michelangelo comes the Harper Perennial paperback original novel How to Paint a Dead Man, a daringly imaginative tale in which multiple lives are woven together through the prism of a still life painting. Moving from Italy to England, spanning nearly half a century, and bringing together the lives of four disparate characters, How to Paint a Dead Man is Hall’s fierce and brilliant study of art and its place in our lives.

It was an alright book. It was very innovative in the sense that it was told from the perspective of four characters and in first, second, third omniscient, and third restrictive. It just felt like the book was trying too hard to be smart and meaningful. Don‘t get me wrong though it was very lovely, there was just no good moral at the end of it to really make it worth reading in the end.
