Art Fiction Stories II

Moments of reflection, moments of change. Surprise, discomfort. Tenacious hope. Life-altering grief. Five stories by Elizabeth Bowen, Maryann D'Agincourt, W. Somerset Maugham, and Edith Wharton bring a full spectrum of human experience and emotion together in the second of Portmay Press's collections of art fiction. Each piece in this volume was chosen for the unique way in which the author paints with words and, whether from the perspective of the nineteenth century, the twentieth, or the twenty-first, embraces the intersections of art, life, and fiction. A painting from the Metropolitan Museum of Art has been paired with each story and is accompanied by a reflection by Ellen Francese exploring the connections between the story and the work of art.
