Called a comedy of manners by the Chicago Tribune, The Great Man by Kate Christensen is now available in paperback.

When a great painter dies and his biographers start researching his life, they discover that in addition to his family, he is also survived by a long-time mistress. Now the intrigue begins!

The New York Times says "Michievous...funny, astute...The Great Man is as unexpectantly generous as it is entertaining." People calls it a "mini-masterpiece."

Christensen is also the author of The Epicure's Lament. The Great Man was the winner of the 2008 PEN Faulkner Award for Fiction.
