The Blue guitar (м) Banville

О книге

Once Oliver Orme was a petty thief and a successful painter. Always desiring what belonged to others, he sought to capture it in paint and in life. Now he's just a thief, having stolen Polly, wife of his best friend. Found out by the friend he cuckolded and his own wife, Oliver flees to the safety of his childhood home. There, haunted by his memories, he seeks to understand how he finds himself alone, unable to paint, adrift on the wreckage of lives he so casually ruined. Is this fate's revenge on a life so disgracefully spent?
