An old, sick man close to death: Foster Lipowitz, founder of a media empire, has flooded the market with meaningless pop songs, bad movies and cynical tv series, and has earned a fortune. He regrets what he has inflicted on culture, and at the end of his life he wants to make amends. A plan: In Midwestern corn fields he builds a school, where highly talented children are educated to become true artists. And because he knows that true art originates in suffering, he makes sure that his pupils get enough of that. A dark guardian angel: every pupil is assigned a ›protector‹, there to do the dirty work. One of them is Harlan, a disillusioned ex-musician. He takes his job very seriously. A victim: Vincent Spinetti, the most gifted student of all. Thanks to Harlan’s efforts to litter Vincent’s life with catastrophes, his genius comes to full fruition. The more pain and sorrow he experiences, the greater Vincent’s art gets. An unlikely friendship: hard to believe, but Vincent and Harlan become friends. But Vincent doesn’t know what Harlan’s job really is ... An author with a unique voice who easily bridges the gap between levity and seriousness, between satire and poetry. »Torture the Artist« is sold to: Heloïse d'Ormesson (France) Cossee (Netherlands) Martinez Roca (Spain) Grup 62 (Catalan) Old Street (UK) Magiko Kouti (Greece) Vaga (Lithuania) Humanitas (Romania) Ast (Russia) Ithaki (Turkey) Munhakdongne (Korea)
