Radiant Days Hardcover - 2012
by Elizabeth Hand
A riveting, hypnotic look at thepower of art by multiple award winner Elizabeth Hand.
Seventeen-year-old Meredith lives for her art - butafter her girlfriend Lindsey commits suicide, eventhat can't save her. Desperate, Mer abandons artschool and makes her way home to Washington,D.C., intending to kill herself. A chance street encounterleads her to a lockhouse by the river, whichleads her to craft something remarkable - a wallpainting that is a doorway through art and time.Through it comes the young Arthur Rimbaud, the"child poet," who is equally desperate. The twoartists - one visual, one verbal - change each other'slives. The brilliant Elizabeth Hand, author of GenerationLoss, Waking the Moon, and the World FantasyAward-winning Illyria, has crafted a story thatwill burn itself into readers' minds.
Summary
It is 1978. Merle is in her first year at the Corcoran School of Art, catapulted from her impoverished Appalachian upbringing into a sophisticated, dissipated art scene. It is also 1870. The teenage poet Arthur Rimbaud is on the verge of breaking through to the images and voice that will make his name. The meshed power of words and art thins the boundaries between the present and the past - and allows these two troubled, brilliant artists to enter each other's worlds. Radiant Days is a peerless follow- up to Elizabeth Hand's unforgettable, multiply starred Illyria.

Media reviews
By showing Arthur Rimbaud as a modern day hero on par with the significance of Kurt Cobain, or Jack Kerouac before him, Hand shows that nothing is beyond her literary reach. Radiant Days is a most startling achievement.
