With or Without Angels
‘A work of spare and brittle loveliness. With or Without Angels is a deeply moving depiction of art and the people who make it, at once visceral and restrained. I admired it enormously’ —Nell Stevens, author of Briefly, A Delicious Life
‘Experimental yet accessible, serious but playful, provocative but moving. Douglas Bruton is a writer of boundless invention’ —Stephen May, author of Sell Us The Rope
‘With lyrical and succinct prose, Douglas Bruton writes tenderly about the quest to capture memories and understand what makes a life. His writing really stays with me’ —Julie Corbin, author of A Lie For A Lie
‘Douglas Bruton’s narrative once again immerses us in a life that shimmers through the delicate fabrics of art. The hero of the story is an artist who can no longer hold a brush. He uses a camera to take pictures that turn into collages. Each collage modifies hazy memories and takes us to a new colorful world full of mystery, longing, and invisible angels’ —Julia Nemirovskaya, editor of Disbelief: 100 Anti-War Poems
