The youth has accepted an unusual assignment, to travel to a miserable mining town in the middle of nowhere in order to clinically--and secretly--observe and report on his mentor's reclusive brother, the painter Strauch. Carefully disguising himself as a law student with a love of Henry James, he befriends the aging artist and attempts to carry out his mission, only to find himself caught up in his subject's apparent madness.","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54403655926126,"sku":"9781400033515","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/1007\/0382\/files\/imageloader_274037da-ec7c-43ac-8d54-2d0889b85829.jpg?v=1785286662","url":"https:\/\/tenderbuttonsbooks.com\/products\/frost","provider":"Tender Buttons Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
