In Joanna Scott's breakthrough novel the Austrian artist Egon Schiele comes to prismatic life in a narrative that defies convention, history, and identity. A self-professed genius and student of August Klimt, Scott's Schiele repeatedly challenges the boundaries of early twentieth-century Europe. Thrown in jail on charges of immorality, Schiele's Mephistophelean reputation only grows in stature until at the age of twenty-eight, the artist dies in the Great Flu Pandemic. Told from a crosscurrent of voices, viewpoints and times, this stunning novel won Scott a nomination for the 1991 PEN/Faulkner Award.

More About Arrogance
An incredible novel about the Austrian artist Egon Schiele and the people in his life, including one young woman whose small role in his life led to his imprisonment (she tells her story in the first person, the only such POV in the novel). The two things that are most special about this novel are (1) the prose, which is very fine and... Three-line review: This high-brow piece of literary fiction tells a fictionalized version of the Austrian artist Egon Schieles life. Jumping among different characters in Schieles life and through a variety of time periods, the story helps explain who the artist is and the circumstances that led him to being such a controversial figure.... Reminded me of how I felt reading Manikin the first time. It's fantastic and whatever I say about it won't do it justice. I swear, everything this woman writes is gold.
