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 Centretruths editorial.
