Reviews for Bohemians
Blauner's language is exquisite. Every page has another delight, the unexpected turn or phrasing, the striking detail and vivid image. In this story of artists and lovers, you'll feel you've entered one of the character's paintings, the brushstrokes sure, the colors fantastical. It's wonderful reading prose written by a poet.
