About This Item
London: Michael Joseph, 1988. In The Truth About Lorin Jones, Polly Alter, a single parent and compassionate feminist, researches the untimely death of painter Lorin Jones, only to be exposed to fast-paced worlds beyond her experience and her own difficult questions. "As chronicler of the life and work of brilliant artist Lorin Jones, Polly Alter - museum curator and would-be painter - at first has it all figured out. Lorin, left to die alone in Key West, was done in by the white, male art establishment. But as Polly's interviewing progresses, Lorin comes down from her pedestal, and her "villains" emerge as likeable persons; at the same time, some of the truths about Polly's life are shattered or realigned" )Library Journal).
