The Vermeer Tales by Gail Tyson
Inspired by A. S. Byatt’s The Matisse Stories and Johannes Vermeer’s exquisite paintings of women, author Gail Tyson began these tales during a transition from a demanding career to full-time writing in 2017, and finished the last after her beloved’s brief, terrifying illness and death. Each piece of prose (one a short story, one a fiction/nonfiction hybrid, and one a memoir) offered Tyson a liminal space in which to explore vulnerability and love, the verso and recto of our deepest relationships. CHAPBOOK / Ekphrastic Prose ISBN: 978-1-951651-36-7 (print; softcover; perfect bound) Released August 2020 46 pages |
