About this product

Product Information

Longlisted for the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award What if the muse, aka the goddess of art, was male? The God of My Art paints a portrait of the artist as a young woman. Years after running away from home, gifted Helene must wrestle with her childhood if she wants to discover her true calling. She finds a muse in philosophical Matthew, who makes her past feel so far away.... but is it? Matthew dreams of escaping the mundane by becoming a humanitarian worker in a war zone, but for w he is fond of quoting Nietzsche when he's t off climbing mountains. As Helene's growing infatuation with him unfolds, so does the true nature of her hero worship. Bold and poetic, The God of My Art explores unrequited love as the source of inspiration for art.Praise for The God of My Art: Sarah Lane's debut vel is an ambitious exploration of how an artist is born and - perhaps more importantly - how she chooses to follow that path as an adult. Lane's prose style is superb; there is a great deal of keen observation, strong dialogue, and interesting ruminations from a heroine coming of age after a difficult childhood. -Sandra Hutchison, author of The Awful Mess: A Love StoryThis is one of the best books I've read in a very long time. The plot and character development was brilliant and the writing was exquisite, hard when it needed to be and gentle when required, too. The author never took a wrong turn anywhere. I didn't kw where the story was going and I didn't care. I was just so caught up in it. -Martin Crosbie, author of My Temporary LifeReally takes off during a high and naked moment in a self-made steam hut in the woods. -Publisher's WeeklyMany authors succeed in capitalizing on vibrant cities to set their vels, but Sarah Lane's beautiful and simple prose takes this a magical step further. The God of My Art is far more than a collage of Vancouver beaches, streets and towering mountains. The vel's strength lies in the dichotomy of the chosen and outliers --the pampered heirs to Shaughnessy fortunes and the soon-to-disappear women of Hastings Street back alleys. Like art, Lane's prose reveals its deepest secrets t in the rays of light, but in the shadows. -New Perspectives on Canadian LiteratureBe warned: Lane's prose has a tendency to gently lure you into reading the book in one sitting. -The Ubyssey
