Byatt, A. S. (Antonia Susan)
The Matisse Stories
New York Vintage Books; Vintage International Ser. 1996 067976223X / 9780679762232 First paperback edition Trade Paperback Very Good
128 pp.; 21 cm. Near fine. Tight, clean copy. Light shelfwear to wraps. 3 stories inspired by Matisse paintings. "These three stories celebrate the eye even as they reveal its unexpected proximity to the heart. For if each of A.S. Byatt's narratives is in some way inspired by a painting of Henri Matisse, each is also about the intimate connection between seeing and feeling--about the ways in which a glance we meant to be casual may suddenly call forth the deepest reserves of our being. Beautifully written, intensely observed, The Matisse Stories is fiction of spellbinding authority. / A. S. Byatt is the author of numerous novels, including A Whistling Woman and Possession, which was awarded the Booker Prize in 1990. She has also written two novellas, published together as Angels and Insects, four previous collections of shorter works, and several works of nonfiction. Educated at Cambridge, she was a senior lecturer in English at University College London. She lives in London." - Publisher.
