PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
An eerie thriller by the author of The Dream of Scipio and An Instance of the Fingerpost. Set on a remote island off of Brittany in the early 20th century, an artist invites his old friend and nemisis to sit for a portrait. It's a terrific set-up, well-played and full of suspense, old entirely from the point of view of the aggrieved artist.
