"This series of conversations between the painter Francis Bacon and the writer David Sylvester shaped my thinking about art and creativity, and I’ve read it over and over. The words are precise, profound and relevant. Reading what Bacon says about the game of painting in the face of film and photography helped me navigate a way to make figurative painting today. Every time I read them I feel energized and compelled to paint."

"Whimsical, original, hilarious, brave and addicting. At any moment, I can pick up the book, turn to any chapter (even ones I’ve already read) and be transported by the funny, fun, feminist, filmmaker/writer. I reread her adventures and re-experience them. Delightful and surprising, she bares her soul as freely as she bares her body and I’m transported back to my wild and woolly childhood, teenhood and womanhood aches and thrills."
