- More about Jackdaw
A psychiatrist becomes obsessed with Francis Bacon and his art, losing grip on reality and being haunted by disturbing figures. This novel explores the passion needed to create art and its destructive nature.
Format: Hardback
Length: 160 pages
Publication date: 06 October 2022
Publisher: Profile Books Ltd
A wild, darkly comic nightmare set on the borderlines of creativity, imagination, and madness.
Guardian Thompson's prose, contaminated by Bacon's unflinching view of the human animal, makes for vital, unsettling reading.
Will Maclean, author of The Apparition Phase, said, "In this shocking, and at times darkly comic, novel, a psychiatrist hired to write a short piece on Francis Bacon becomes obsessed with the artist, his life, and the characters who surrounded him. As he becomes consumed with the need to understand Bacon, and to create his own art, his grip on reality becomes increasingly tenuous, and he is haunted by disturbing figures. This short, bold piece of fiction explores how the passion needed to create art can also destroy the artist."
