The Death Of Francis Bacon by Max Porter
A feverish, fragmentary meditation on a dying painter’s final days in a Madrid clinic, where shards of memory, painterly commands, and art-historical echoes blur with hallucination and bodily decline. Across seven charged vignettes, images of flesh, violence, and tenderness collide as he revisits his work, spars with language and desire, and weighs love, shame, and legacy. The result is a compressed, lyrical deathbed monologue that captures the brutality and beauty of making art at the very edge of life.
