Description

The Horse's Mouth by Joyce Cary A searing portrait of the artistic temperament, this novel follows Gulley Jimson, a charming and impoverished painter who defies conventional values in pursuit of his intuition. With an admirable drive for creation comes an astonishing hunger for destruction, leaving him questioning whether he is a great artist or a has-been. As Jimson criss-crosses London in search of money and inspiration, the world appears with a wonderful lustre and a terrible beauty through his eyes. Mr Cary's writing is at top pace, conveying the raw emotion and intensity of Jimson's experiences. With its vivid prose and unflinching portrayal of artistic ambition, The Horse's Mouth offers a thought-provoking exploration of creativity and its consequences.
