<p><b>FROM THE PULITZER PRIZE-WINNING AND MAN BOOKER-SHORTLISTED AUTHOR</b><br><br><b>'Sparkles with brilliant observations on art and architecture, friendship and loss' </b><i>Guardia</i><i>n</i><br><br><b>'Everybody should get to spend a month with Mr. Matar, looking at paintings'</b> Zadie Smith, <i>Wall Street Journal</i>, Books of the Year<br>_______________________________________________<br><br>Matar was nineteen years old when his father was kidnapped. In the year following he found himself turning to art, particularly the great paintings of the Sienese School. They became a refuge and a way to think about the world outside the urgencies of the present.<br><br>A quarter of a century later, having found no trace of his father, Matar finally visits the birthplace of those paintings. <i>A Month in Siena</i> is the encounter between the writer and the city. It is an immersion in painting, a consideration of love, grief and a profoundly moving contemplation of the relationship between art and life. <br>_______________________________________________<br><br><b>'A dazzling exploration of art's impact on his life and writing, and a moving contemplation of grief' </b><i>Financial Times</i><br><br><b>'I can think of no better expression of the humane than this economical, modest, yet altogether breathtaking book' </b><i>New Statesman, </i>Books of the Year<br><br><b>'Bewitching, intensely moving'</b> <i>The Economist</i>, Books of the Year</p>
