Editorial Reviews:
Review:

"Blackburn's prose is elegant and precise, illuminated by intelligence, curiosity and a refined visual sense....Her fascination with the grotesque and tactile, combined with the slow and often dreamlike narrative, beautifully conveys the changed reality of the newly deaf painter. But how accurate is her portrait of Goya? As a psychological study, it lacks complexity....At times I felt that I was exploring Blackburn's mind rather than her subject's. The most captivating moments of the book are personal...."

Pamela Norris, Literary Review, April 2002

Review:

"[S]ometimes extraordinary and sometimes, for a variety of reasons, less successful. It is a high-risk enterprise....What she has written is less a biography than a journey, partly external and partly internal...."

Richard Eder, New York Times, 05/22/2002
