Über das Buch

Joyce Cary wrote two trilogies, or 'triptychs' as he later called them, and both are Faber Finds. The first comprises

Herself Surprised (1941),

To Be a Pilgrim (1942) and

The Horse's Mouth (1944).

The Horse's Mouth is a portrait of an artistic temperament. Its protagonist, Gulley Gimson, is an impoverished painter who scorns conventional good behaviour. If a bad citizen, he is a good artist, so wholly preoccupied with his art that he is willing to endure any privation. For Gulley there is but one morality: to be a painter.

'Joyce Cary is an important and exciting writer… To use Tennyson's phrase, he is a Lord of Language … if you like rich writing full of gusto and accurate original character drawing, you will get it from

The Horse's Mouth.' John Betjeman,

Daily Herald
