Description
*Paul Tobin is the rebellious young painter with more than a touch of genius.
*His 'discoverer' is Christopher Hamilton, a smart young dealer who means to get to the top.
*His patron is Victory Ellisberg, a rich and beautiful divorcee, who pushes Paul towards fame and fortune out of devotion to his art and to his body.
*The setting is the frenzied world of critics, dealers and collectors, where talent and integrity are up for sale.
It's in everyone's interest that Paul succeeds, so everyone tries hard too hard. The furious pace of wheeler-dealing and all the erotic distractions finally pull him into the big league... and past it.
