Doubting Thomas: A Novel About Caravaggio - Softcover
Centering on 1606, when the artist killed a man in a duel and was forced to flee into exile, the narrative mixes history and biographical data into a lush fiction with the suspense of a mystery novel""-Publishers Weekly. ""Naess's novel retrieves Caravaggio from the dust of history-while avoiding the pitfalls of idolatry and caricature-in his brilliant, provocative, often comical, and ultimately generous novel. He gives this familiar story an urgent and contemporary terror in which we recognize the terrors and assassinations that continue to haunt our culture today""-Rain Taxi. ""A nicely textured tale.""-Kirkus Reviews
