Landscape: Memory




The book is unusual in that the story is told both through prose and through 36 evolving versions of a single painting in various phases of creation and obliteration. The painting first appears as a simple landscape. Then, as the novel's central romance begins, two nude male figures are inserted in the foreground. Finally, the image is progressively blotted out with layers of black paint after the lovers are separated.
