TLS Nell Dunn has perfect pitch for the words we use and for the loves and mysteries of the human heart. Carmen Callil Defiant, funny and exhilarating. The Muse is so high-spirited and full of a sense of adventure. Margaret Drabble This slim volume is entertaining... You long to know more about Nell''s life Daily Mail The Muse is the story of a life-changing friendship. It starts with Nell''s account of a chance meeting with Josie at the age of 22.Josie teaches her how to live for moment, how to have adventures and find the sweetness of life even in hardship. This was the Sixties, a time of literary and sexual experimentation, of the breakdown of old barriers and inhibitions Even as she was hooking up with dodgy men, Josie always carried herself like a star, and as the inspiration for the ground-breaking novel of working class women Poor Cow and the play Steaming - both of which were made into movies - she became one, feted by producers on Broadway.Life is the thing, was Josie''s motto. But where would her philosophy of taking no care for tomorrow lead her?In prose of unique clarity and simplicity that always gets straight to the heart of matter, The Muse follows this friendship over the decades.

LAURA PURCELL''S HOUSE OF SPLINTERS IS AVAILABLE TO PREORDER NOW ---------------------------------------- ''Spooky, atmospheric, brilliant'' Bridget Collins ''Glitteringly dark and mesmerising'' Jennifer Saint Be careful what you wish for... it may just come true. At The Mercury Theatre in London''s West End, rumours are circulating of a curse. It is said that the lead actress Lilith has made a pact with Melpomene, the tragic muse of Greek mythology, to become the greatest actress to ever grace the stage. Suspicious of Lilith, the jealous wife of the theatre owner sends dresser Jenny to spy on her, and desperate for the money to help her family, Jenny agrees. What Jenny finds is a woman as astonishing in her performance as she is provocative in nature. On stage, it''s as though Lilith is possessed by the characters she plays, yet off stage she is as tragic as the Muse who inspires her, and Jenny, sorry for her, befriends the troubled actress. But when strange events begin to take place around the theatre, Jenny wonders if the rumours are true, and fears that when the Muse comes calling for payment, the cost will be too high.

The Tragic Muse - Henry James - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Tragic Muse - Henry James - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

''You must paint her just like that ... as the Tragic Muse'' Suggests one of James''s characters to Nick Dormer, the young Englishman who, during the course of the novel, will courageously resist the glittering Parliamentary career desired for him by his family, in order to paint. His progress is counterpointed by the ''Tragic Muse'' of the title, Miriam Rooth, one of James''s most fierily beautiful creations, a great actress indifferent to social reputation, and triumphantly dedicated to her art. In portraying the conflict between art and ''the world'' which is his novel''s central idea, James engaged obliquely with current debates on the new aestheticism of Pater and Wilde and on the nature of the actor''s performance. Through the living complexity of his protagonists he reveals how much, as Philip Horne puts it, ''to take art seriously as an end in itself ... is still a provocative course''.

The Whisky Muse - Robin Laing - Bog - Luath Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Whisky Muse - Robin Laing - Bog - Luath Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Whisky - the water of life, perhaps Scotland''s best known contribution to the world. Muse - goddess of creative endeavour. The Whisky Muse - the spark of inspiration to many of Scotland''s great poets and songwriters. Brought together by Robin Laing, a highly respected Scottish folk singer and songwriter, and based on his one-man show The Angel''s Share, it combines two of his passions - folk song and whisky. Each poem and song is accompanied by fascinating additional information, and the book is full of interesting tit-bits on the process of whisky making. Reflected in these poems and songs are the pleasures (and medicinal benefits) of imbibing this most beloved of spirits as well as the unfortunate consequences of over-indulgence, the centuries of religious disapproval, the temperance movement and the exciseman. The stories told here are lubricated by warmth and companionshop, best enjoyed with dram in hand. Slainte.

The Paris Muse - Louisa Treger - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The Paris Muse - Louisa Treger - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

‘Living with him was like living at the centre of the universe. It was electrifying and humbling, blissful and destructive, all at the same time.’ Paris, 1936. When Dora Maar, a talented French photographer, painter and poet, is introduced to Pablo Picasso, she is instantly mesmerized. Drawn to his volcanic creativity, it isn’t long before she embarks on a passionate relationship with the Spanish artist that ultimately pushes her to the edge. A wonderfully atmospheric, intense and astonishing novel about Dora Maar – the artist, creative genius and muse who inspired some of Pablo Picasso’s greatest work – and about their love affair that broke her. Praise for The Paris Muse : ''An accomplished literary novel, and also an absolute page turner. Raw sexual charisma and its descent into toxic cruelty which is set – and artfully echoed – in times of peace and war.’ Essie Fox, author of the Sunday Times bestseller The Fascination ‘Dora Maar, “The Weeping Woman" of Picasso''s famous paintings, steps out of the canvas in Louisa Treger''s unforgettable new novel. Dora''s passionate, obsessive relationship with the artist came close to destroying her, and Treger''s beautifully written first-person narrative takes us deep inside her grief and torment. Picasso emerges as a controlling, sadistic man, who is single-minded in pursuit of his art first, his pleasure second. This is a powerful, absorbing read about a woman who was a talented artist in her own right, and it illustrates very graphically who was responsible for making the ''Weeping Woman'' weep.’ Gill Paul, internationally bestselling author of A Beautiful Rival ''Gifted photographer and painter - and muse of Picasso - Dora Marr comes vibrantly to life in Treger''s new novel, THE PARIS MUSE. A fascinating and heartfelt portrait of a female artist striving to succeed in the male-dominated Parisian art world, readers won''t be able to resist rooting for Dora, or relishing every page until The End. A compelling and absorbing read!'' Heather Webb, USA Today and International bestselling author of Queens of London

The Paris Muse - Louisa Treger - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) - Plusbog.dk

''Living with him was like living at the centre of the universe. It was electrifying and humbling, blissful and destructive, all at the same time.'' Paris, 1936. When Dora Maar, a talented French photographer, painter and poet, is introduced to Pablo Picasso, she is mesmerized by his dark and intense stare. Drawn to his volcanic creativity, it isn''t long before she embarks on a passionate relationship with the Spanish artist that sometimes includes sadism and masochism, and ultimately pushes her to the edge. The Paris Muse is the fictionalized retelling of this disturbing love story, as we follow Dora on her journey of self-discovery and expression. Set in Paris and the French Riviera, where Dora and Pablo spent their holidays with their glamorous artist friends, it provides a fascinating insight into how Picasso was a genius who side-stepped the rules in his human relationships as he did in his art. Much to Dora''s torment, he refused to divorce his wife and conducted affairs with Dora''s friends. The Spanish Civil War made him depressed and violent, an angst that culminated in his acclaimed painting ''Guernica'', which Dora documented as he painted.As the encroaching darkness suffocates their relationship - a darkness that escalates once the Second World War begins and the Nazis invade the country - Dora has a nervous breakdown and is hospitalized. Atmospheric, intense and moving, The Paris Muse is an astonishing read that ensures that this talented, often overlooked woman who gave her life to Picasso is no longer a footnote. Praise for The Paris Muse : ''An accomplished literary novel, and also an absolute page turner.
