Post to Web

In this humorous novel about the art world and its excesses, the appearance of a lost painting that may or may not be by Bruegel occasions a series of exercises in deceit, betrayal, and blind optimism when the man who comes across it at the home of a neighbor resolves that he must possess it at all costs.

<b><i>New York Times</i>:</b> "...Michael Frayn has constructed an ingenious plot around a missing Bruegel painting, and in doing so, created his own resonant portrait of human folly....[A] novel that turns out to be as entertaining as it is intelligent, as stimulating as it is funny."

Publisher's Note

I have a discovery to report. Many of the world's greatest treasures are known to have been lost over the centuries. I believe I may have found one of them.
