Francine Prose explores the complex relationship between the artist and his muse. In so doing, she illuminates...the elusive emotional wellsprings of the creative process. Copyright is 2002, so it's only in the final chapter(s) that the book moves into a position of examining the role of women as artist finding her inspiration in the artist she collaborates with.
CW: addiction, abuse, death, and a largely hetero-normative & somewhat misogynistic history of women as muses and men as artists.
