Description

In real life, Lars Hertervig would become, along with Edvard Munch, one of Norway s most renowned painters-but in Melancholy he is a promising young artist tortured by doubt and unhinged by unrequited love. After agonizing over his work, drinking alone in a student bar, and obsessively revisiting the loss of his great love, he quits painting entirely, suffers a nervous collapse, and finds himself incarcerated in an insane asylum.

Told with a seamlessly powerful and compulsive voice, the narrator s art becomes, in the end, a means of extricating himself from the tortures of love. I ll get away from Gaustad Asylum, he says when he s finally released, and I ll paint your picture away.
