Mr Gwyn by Alessandro Baricco
A solitary London writer abandons fiction and begins making spare, enigmatic portraits—images that strip subjects of their public identities and offer them a chance to imagine new lives. He sets up a small studio, hires an assistant, and draws people into a quiet experiment about representation, authorship and the limits of language. As the project reshapes his clients, it also unsettles him, leading to an increasingly personal crisis in which art, selfhood and disappearance become indistinguishable.
