This is precisely the sort of book we've come to expect from Prose: intelligent, wry, and provocative. In "Muses", she shows how the complexities of an artistic relationship go far beyond our traditional definition of the word muse. ~ Reviewed by Bob Gray

If you do not recognize R.A. Blakelock's name (or even if you do), you must read this extraordinary book. Not only is this the biography of an important figure in American art history, it is also a compelling tale of a life lived at the extreme limits of creative obsession. ~ Reviewed by Bob Gray

M: The Man Who Became Caravaggio by Peter Robb is an engrossing biography of the violent, passionate, provocative artist Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio. He lived a short, turbulent but productive life (1571-1610), shocking the art and church establishments by using his lovers - young boys and female prostitutes - as models for his groundbreaking portrayals of religious and classical subjects as living people. Robb uses the few existing facts about the artist as well as his own interpretations of the paintings to create a highly readable, melodramatic biography of this innovative, iconoclastic artist. ~ Reviewed by Louise Jones
