Peter Fuller, who died in a car accident in April 1990, was a controversial art critic. This memoir is based on his journals of the 1970s. In it he explores his troubled Baptist childhood and his growing awareness, his thoughts on art and Marxism, his first marriage, fatherhood, and the psychoanalysis that changed his life. This new edition contains an essay by his widow, Stephanie, following his life and thought to the time of his death.
