Reviews
I've been a Bacon fan for as long as I can remember and while I discovered a couple of small facts about him I hadn't known before the book is definitely on the thin side, both physically and content-wise. It's a fun read and if it spurs someone to study further into the mind of a brilliant artist then it will have done an admirable job.
