Description
Richard Morris has spent almost forty years building a successful career as an artist in Manhattan. Now, financially comfortable but artistically embittered, he is recovering from heart surgery at home and reflecting on his life's work. In the attic of his upstate residence, he discovers a stack of old notebooks that he began keeping when he first arrived in New York in the late 1970s. As he reads through these journals, Morris becomes fascinated by the young man he once was: naive, egotistical and full of ambition. He is struck by how much he has changed over time, and how his experiences have shaped him into the person he is today. Through this introspective journey, Bogosian explores the complex relationship between creativity and commerce in the artistic world. Perforated Heart is a thought-provoking novel that delves into the human experience of self-invention and self-realization. With its vivid imagery and insightful commentary, it offers a powerful portrait of two men - young and old - who are both struggling to find their place in the world.
