Headline Book Publishing Ltd Looking Back
As the number one bestselling saga writer in this country, Josephine Cox utilises elements of her own tough past to create a tale that is both involving and effective, while always being firmly grounded in reality. Cox has created some memorable and distinctive heroines, but <I>Looking Back</I>'s Molly Tattersall is something special: a character who undergoes considerable change under the great stresses that are placed upon her, and with whom the reader can strongly identify.<p> Molly's mother has disappeared, leaving only a letter in which she asks her daughter to look after her five brothers and sisters. She cannot depend upon her feckless father, who similarly neglects his duties, and she is put in an impossible situation. She must choose between the young man she loves or, forsaking her happiness, look after the children. It is the hardest decision she has ever had to make. And while we are caught up in the drama of Molly's difficult choices, Cox is working her magic with other plot strands that will ultimately become important. Who was the stranger who called upon her mother shortly before she disappeared? <p>It is a cliché to describe a writer like Cox as a born storyteller, but there is simply no other way to describe her appeal. Nevertheless, other elements are subtly utilised by the author to weave her spell: a powerful sense of time (Looking Back begins in the summer of 1948, and the reader is always conscious of the passing of time); then there are the evocatively drawn locales. Most of all, though, it is the characterisation that remains Cox's trump card, and here, particularly with the beleaguered Molly, she excels herself. The dialogue, too, has the salty taste of authentic working class life: <p><blockquote>I know it sounds terrible, she murmured, and it makes me look like a hard woman, and happen I am, but if I am it's your dad who made me like that. I'm tired of being as big as a ship from one year's end to another; too heavy to walk, legs like pit props, and so weary at the end of a day I could lay down in the gutter and sleep...that's how it's always been with your dad.</blockquote><p > --<I>Barry Forshaw</I>

Thames & Hudson Ltd Looking Back at Francis Bacon
David Sylvester's <I>The Brutality of Fact: Interviews with Francis Bacon</I> is not only the most vital written record of the Soho bohemian, but in itself a remarkable sortie into the artistic mind. <I>Looking Back at Francis Bacon</I>, while consciously not approaching that achievement, is a valuable companion volume, and amazingly the first book on Bacon by the keeper of his flame. Sylvester first encountered Bacon's <I>Crucifixion</I> in Herbert Read's <I>Art Now</I> (1933), and first wrote about him in 1948. Two years later they met. In time he assumed the role of, variously, critic, promoter, bootlegger, curator and model to this enigmatic, striking young painter, who was painting off the nervous system, and wanted to be able to paint the mouth like Monet painted a sunset. <p> Sylvester's commentary on the paintings is consistently incisive, using both his personal knowledge and his intellectual acumen. Sympathetic to artistic and biographical context, he writes informatively on Bacon's techniques, which included a preference for working from photographs and reproduction, painting on the reverse of a canvas, and insisting on his works being glazed. If he possibly over-ranks Bacon in a pantheon of classical painters, he justifies his supremacy as the British image-maker of the post-war period. The familiar themes--the ambiguity of the gaping mouths (screaming? yawning?), crucifixions, popes (Sylvester believes they represent Bacon's father--the artist would not commit), convulsion, spaceframes--reward keen reconsideration, before a series of short, thematic asides, much in the keeping with the fragmentary nature of art with which Bacon identified in TS Eliot, and which he embraced in his own work. Previously unpublished morsels of conversation are tantalisingly illuminating, the biographical note discreetly succinct--Sylvester leaves the Soho prattle to Daniel Farson's <I>The Gilded Gutter Life of Francis Bacon</I>--and the quality of the reproductions, including 12 fold-out triptychs, is superlative. Sylvester does himself an injustice when he frets that Bacon will not be understood until there can be a full, definitive catalogue, including lost works. Until that day, it's a pleasurable hardship to make do with Sylvester's rich and subtle readings, in which by looking back at Bacon's life, he gives us something of his own. --<I>David Vincent</I>
