How to Paint a Dead Man

Sarah Hall

Fantasy Mainstream

Longlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2009.

The lives of four individuals — a dying painter, a blind girl, a landscape artist, and an art curator — intertwine across nearly five decades in this luminous and searching novel of extraordinary power. With How to Paint a Dead Man, Sarah Hall, "one of the most significant and exciting of Britain's young novelists" (The Guardian), delivers "a maddeningly enticing read... an amazing feat of literary engineering" (The Independent on Sunday).
