"Schwartz has written an edgy, funny novel in the modernist tradition she so clearly reveres. Her titular reference is to Kafka's mordant short story 'A Hunger Artist' but in her frequently hilarious, always intelligent explorations of such weighty topics as the artistic struggle, the quest for knowledge and the ineluctable decay of society, this contemporary writer, in her own accessible way, also recalls such modernist icons as Thomas Mann and Virginia Woolf."Schwartz, Lynne Sharon is the author of 'Fatigue Artist' with ISBN 9780684824680 and ISBN 068482468X.
