The Death of Francis Bacon

Quite the departure for Max Porter, this tiny little tome is an unflinching look at the last days of the life of the artist Francis Bacon. It is raw and brave and bold, and difficult, as if the end of the life of such a man could be anything else.

I clearly did not get this at all. I liked Grief is a Thing with Feathers, and I adored Lanny - but this just felt confusing and pretentious.
