The Atmospheric Novel : The Horse's Mouth
The Horse's Mouth
by Joyce Cary • Introduction by Brad Leithauser

The Horse's Mouth, the final and most celebrated volume of Joyce Cary's First Trilogy, is perhaps the finest novel ever written about an artist. Its painter hero, the charming and larcenous Gulley Jimson, has an insatiable genius for creation and a no less remarkable appetite for destruction.Is he a great artist? a has-been? or a drunken ne'er-do-well? As he criss-crosses London in search of money and inspiration, the world we see through his eyes is both an outrage and a place of terrible beauty.
