Potent, haunting and lyrical, Night Blue is a debut novel like no other, a narrative largely told in the voice of the painting Blue Poles. It is a truly original and absorbing approach to revisiting Jackson Pollock and his wife Lee Krasner as artists and people, as well as a realigning our ideas around the cultural legacy of Whitlam's purchase of Blue Poles in 1973.
It is also the story of Alyssa, and a contemporary relationship, in which Angela O'Keeffe immerses us in the essential power of art to change our personal lives and, by turns, a nation.
Moving between New York and Australia with fluid ease, Night Blue is intimate and tender, yet surprisingly dramatic. It is a glorious exploration of how art must never be undervalued.
'Intimate, sublime, this work shines.' - Favel Parrett, author ofPast the Shallows andThere Was Still Love
'Intelligent and poignant,Night Blue traverses the boundaries between language and art in a delicious tour de force. I found it impossible to put down.'- Mette Jakobsen, author ofWhat the Light Hides andThe Vanishing Act
'Miraculous ... O'Keeffe gets under the skin of a painting we all thought we knew, giving it agency and voice, releasing a spirit that is by turns dreamlike, tender and ruthlessly true.'- Michael Fitzgerald, author ofThe Pacific Room and Piet
