A self-professed genius and student of August Klimt, Scott's Schiele repeatedly challenges the boundaries of early twentieth-century Europe. Thrown in jail on charges of immorality, Schiele's Mephistophelean reputation only grows in stature until, at the age of twenty-eight, the artist dies in the Great Flu Pandemic. Told from a crosscurrent of voices, viewpoints and times, this stunning novel won Scott a nomination for the 1991 PEN\/Faulkner Award.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaperback\u003cbr\u003e288 pages\u003cbr\u003ePicador, 2004\u003cbr\u003e5.5 x 8.5 inches\u003cbr\u003eISBN 9780312423889\u003cbr\u003eBiographical Fiction\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42601838096,"sku":"9780312423889","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0175\/8594\/products\/Arrogance_Joanna-Scott.jpg?v=1593190847","url":"https:\/\/neue-galerie-design-shop.myshopify.com\/products\/arrogance-a-novel","provider":"Neue Galerie Design Shop \u0026 Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
