About the book
Before she turned thirty, Joanna Scott published three wholly original and provocative novels that offered discerning readers sure proof of the arrival of a major new voice in American fiction.
Her most recent work, Arrogance, which employed the short life of expressionist painter Egon Schiele as the inspiration for an exploration of art, genius, madness, and society in fin de siecle Vienna, was a finalist for the 1991 PEN/Faulkner Award and won the Richard and Hinda Rosenthal Foundation Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
