Portrait of an Artist as a Raging Bull
Autobiography Of
Benvenuto Cellini
is a book drenched in war, sex, intrigue, and murder. Its writer was one of the
leading artists of his time, a figure steeped in controversy and mystery. He
also had a fierce temper and an appetite for killing when his blood was up,
which it often was.
Given
all that, why do I find his book a chore to read?
