the obsessed artist
“I just want to be perfect.” - Black Swan
fictional accounts of artists who are defined, in some way, by their relentless obsession with their craft.
Being Human is Uncomfortable
These books are deeply human, and they aren't afraid to make you uncomfortable along the way. Whether the characters are unlikeable or the author seems to be rudely calling you out or the content is critiquing an aspect of the human experience (or all the above), these books are unflinching in the face of their consumers. Recommendations are welcome!
