A marvelous (Lauren Groff) and riveting novel about a woman who has come undone.A student moves to the city to research Gothic nudes. One day, Agnes arrives in the city and settles into the upstairs studio.In their meetings on the stairs, in the studio, at the corner caf , the kitchen at dawn, Agnes tells stories of her youth, her family, her marriage, and ideas for her art - which is always just about to be created. She rents an apartment from a painter, Agnes, who lives in another town with her husband.
The student is increasingly aware of Agnes's disintegration. As the months pass, it becomes clear that Agnes might not have a place to return to. Her stories are frenetic; her art scattered and unfinished, white paint on a white canvas.What emerges is the menacing sense that every life is always at the edge of disaster, no matter its seeming stability.
