Monica Szabo, a middle-aged, moderately successful painter, encounters B, a wealthy commodities broker who collects her work. B volunteers to be her muse, offering her everything that male artists have always had to produce great art: time, space, money, and sex.
Passionate, provoccative, and highly engaging. Spending displays Gordon's maverick feminism, her extraorinary wit, and her unique perpectives on art, money, men, sex - and the desires of women.
