Seeing Martin, a novel by Su Croll

 

The hand of the poet is evident in Su Croll’s debut novel, and her characters are as painterly and visceral as her allusions to Francis Bacon’s screaming popes and Jana Sterbak’s meat dress. Croll flips art history’s traditional trope of artist and muse, revisiting that fraught relationship in a compelling contemporary story of art, desire and obsession.
