内容简介

Braverman's imagined life of Frida Kahlo begins and ends within the mind of the painter, at 46, on her deathbed. Reflecting on people, places, and events in her past, Frida is defiant, bearing the wounds of her body and spirit with a stark pride. Through memory and hallucination, Frida talks of men, art, and philosophy. Though she loves Diego Rivera, she openly scorns his limited vision and his “vulgar and inconsequential murals.” In her bold, surprising, and vivid award-winning style, Braverman plumbs the psyche of an uncompromising woman and artist. “Ms. Braverman possesses a magical, incantatory voice.” — The New York Times
