Francis Bacon: Revelations, by Mark Stevens and Annalyn Swan, a new biography of the flamboyant English painter, lives up to the promise of its title--at least judging from the reviews in the Washington Post and New York Times. (The Amazon page quotes several similarly laudatory reviews from the other side of the pond.) Several Bookmen have already suggested we consider it for our next reading list despite its heft (880 pages/more than three pounds!), and I certainly think it's worth considering. We could handle it the way we did John Lahr's similarly lengthy biography, Tennessee Williams: Mad Pilgrimage of the Flesh, which we split up between two sessions back in 2016.
