The Electric Michelangelo Paperback - 2005
by Sarah Hall
A finalist for the 2004 Man Booker Prize, this "wildly imagined and richly written" ("The Independent") portrait of love and art, set in the years between the two world wars, "confirms Hall's status as one of the most significant and exciting of our younger novelists" ("The Guardian)."
From the rear cover
Cy Parks is the Electric Michelangelo, an artist of extraordinary gifts whose medium happens to be the pliant, shifting canvas of the human body. Fleeing his mother's legacy -- a consumptives' hotel in a fading English seaside resort -- Cy reinvents himself in the incandescent honky-tonk of Coney Island in its heyday between the two world wars. Amid the carnival decadence of freak shows and roller coasters, enchanters and enigmas, scam artists and marks, Cy will find his muse: an enigmatic circus beauty who surrenders her body to his work, but whose soul tantalizingly eludes him.
This P.S. edition features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book, including author interviews, recommended reading, and more.
