More about the book
As a child Pinch loves Bear almost as much as he fears him. As an adult, trying to live up to his father's name — one of the twentieth century's fiercest and most controversial painters — Pinch never quite succeeds. Yet by the end of a career of twists and compromises, he enacts an unexpected rebellion that will leave forever his mark upon the Bear Bavinsky legacy. With his signature humour and humanity Tom Rachman delivers a masterpiece of a novel that challenges the very idea of greatness.
