While investigating his mentor's life and death, Michael, a voyeuristic fashion photographer, travels through a Dionysian landscape where sex is daydream, women and horses share the same erotic power, and perversity is the rule. In his search, Michael uses photographs and paintings to visualize the past and thereby expose a family's decadent legacy of sex, lies, and betrayal.

George Stubbs is one of the greatest of British eighteenth-century painters, with a deep and unaffected sympathy for country life and the English countryside. This fully illustrated book outlines his career, followed by a catalogue raisonne (the first since Sir Walter Gilbey's short listing of 1898) of all his known works. One of the stickiest labels in the history of British art attached itself to Stubbs as 'Mr Stubbs the horse painter'. Over half of his paintings were of horses, each founded on the pioneering observations assembled (in 1766) in his book The Anatomy of the Horse; but Stubbs's wide-ranging subjects included portraits, conversation pieces and paintings of exotic animals from the Zebra to the Rhinoceros, as well as an extraordinarily sympathetic series of portraits of dogs.

In this new study of the novels of John Hawkes, author Lesley Marx has brought to light insights from the three novels Hawkes has published in the last ten years, as well as from his other works. According to Marx, all three of these new novels continue to attest to the fertility of Hawkes's imagination and the fine crafting of his prose. But at least two of the new works - Adventures in the Alaskan Skin Trade and Sweet William: A Memoir of Old Horse - also reveal an expansive and transformative vision that celebrates the shifting and fluid possibilities of authority, writing, storytelling, and gender.
