Torture The Artist was written by Kentucky-born writer and musician Joey Goebel (1980). He has four published books: The Anomalies, Torture The Artist, Commonwealth e I Again Osborne.
His musical carreer is linked to bands like Novembrists and The
Mullets. It's funny how his name is so similar to Hitler's Propaganda
Minister Joseph Goebbles.
Sinopse do livro em inglês(retirada do site Goodreads):
Vincent
Spinetti is an archetypal tortured artist ? a sensitive young writer
who falls victim to alienation, parental neglect, poverty, depression,
alcoholism, illness, nervous breakdowns, and unrequited love. He is
painfully unaware that these torments are due to the secret
manipulations of New Renaissance, an experimental organization that is
testing the age-old idea that art results from suffering. Since culture
is so significantly influenced by music, movies, and television, New
Renaissance hopes to improve the mindless mainstream by raising writers
who emphasize artistic quality over commerce. As part of its top-secret
sub-project, New Renaissance hires reluctant ex-musician Harlan Eiffler
to manipulate its most promising prodigy, Vincent. Wickedly antisocial
and deeply disgusted by what passes for entertainment in the
twenty-first century, Harlan clandestinely pulls the strings so that
Vincent remains a true artist. All the while, he poses as Vincent's
manager, simultaneously nurturing his prolific career and torturing his
soul. Smart, funny, and poignant, Torture the Artist is the timely,
much-anticipated second novel from a brilliant new voice in fiction.
