Hi Sara,

How about the novel by Joyce Cary, The Horse’s Mouth, featuring the fictional artist Gully Jimson (1942?)?  See article on NPR  < http://www.npr.org/2011/07/06/137044181/an-artists-life-tough-toilsome-and-tiring-times >.

                Best, Marilyn

Subject: [ARLIS-L] Fiction about creativity?

 

Dear ARLIS-L,

 

A faculty member has asked me about works of fiction with creativity as the subject. Any suggestions?

 

We have titles with artists--fiction and painters--drama as the subject, but perhaps you have a favorite you'd like to recommend.
