Synopsis "Shorter Lives "

"One might have thought the lives of some of the writers and artists within this book - Woolf, Rimbaud, Picasso - had been written to the point where little more could be offered, but Scott's distillations are a fresh and intriguing making new.Shorter Lives plunges below the received biographies to disinter the emotional, psychological, erotic and other secrets that arguably underpin, explain and give force to their work. The results are sometimes unsettling, sometimes confounding, sometimes electric, and almost always absorbing. More to the point, they contain a deep probing of Modernity itself, a looking backward to better understand our current aesthetic and the challenges it faces." - David Brooks author of The Fern Tattoo, The Conversation, The Grass LibraryShorter Lives' histories of notable creators drift away from conventional tellings to offer alternative facts and believable untruths. No small part of the author's research, however, has been the trawling of existing biographies for unrepresentative, yet documented, instances of the bizarre.In our post-truth world of fake news and mythmaking, Scott's revised biographies make a significant contribution to both speculative fiction and the developing field of non-fiction poetry.
