From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. In this hefty volume, novelist Friedman takes a look
at the artwork of more than 200 authors who found other avenues for
expression in drawing, painting or sculpting. Aside from the familiar
illustrations of Edward Gorey, Beatrix Potter and (to a lesser
extent) Kurt Vonnegut, Friedman also unearths work from literary
heavyweights past and present, including the Bronte sisters, Herman
Hesse, Rudyard Kipling, Colleen McCullough, Vladamir Nabokov, John
Updike and Jonathan Lethem. Each entry offers a short biography and
passages from journals, letters or interviews illuminating the
author's reasons for picking up pen or paint; according to Elizabeth
Bishop, for instance, writers make a "frequent complaint that
painting is more fun than writing." Examples of authors' art, one or
two from each subject, are handsomely reproduced in vivid color
alongside the text. Friedman also covers a long list of writers whose
artworks couldn't be located or secured for publication, and essays
by William H. Gass and Updike provide perspective. Sure to cover at
least a few of any given lit fan's favorites, Friedman's volume
provides hours of fascinating browsing, and makes a perfect coffee
table book for the avid reader.
