Description
Kevin Pace works on a painting that he won't allow anyone to see. It's twelve feet by twenty-one feet and three inches, covered entirely in shades of blue. He doesn't know if it's his masterpiece or not; he doesn't care. What Kevin does care about are the events of the past: an affair with a young artist in Paris ten years ago, and a journey to El Salvador on the brink of war to retrieve Richard's drug-dealing brother. The painting is just one part of Kevin's life, which is also marked by his marriage to Linda. As he works on his art, he must confront the secrets he keeps from himself and those around him. This is a novel about how the past collides with present, and the ways in which we hide things from even ourselves. A beautifully structured book, So Much Blue is a generous and thrilling exploration of memory, self-deception, and the human experience.
