below the following brief Centretruths editorial:-
This, the first
of three loosely-related novels written by John O’Loughlin in 1980 and dealing
with art and artists, is the tragic and, in some sense, pathetic account of a
young artist by name of Robert Harding who is so obsessed with advancing his
career ... that he becomes blind to the sexual machinations of a certain Henry
Grace, a wealthy and influential art critic, to seduce him whilst ostensibly
posing as his admiring patron. For Grace
seems to be just the answer to Harding's professional ambitions, and the artist
allows himself to be led from commission to commission by the older man without
the slightest suspicion of the latter’s true motives for befriending him. But it is Carol, Harding's girlfriend, whose
suspicions are first aroused and, together with both the writer Andrew Doyle,
who is Harding's next-door neighbour, and a long-standing acquaintance of hers
by name of Donald Prescott, she plots to thwart Grace's sexual ambitions - with
tragic consequences for the critic, as things turn out in this far from
implausible narrative! - A
