　　“Extraordinary . . . Throughout, the writer’s evocations of
Goya’s work are not just intensely visual but virtually audible . .
. Blackburn writes to startling effect.” —The New York Times
　　“[Blackburn’s] real talent is in conjuring up lives . . . You
have the uncanny sensation that you have met Goya, felt his honest
horny hands, watched him work.” —The Economist
　　“[Blackburn’s] rare imagination and profound intelligence . . .
carry her into the mind and the work of Francisco de Goya . . .
Each image, exquisite in its plainness, draws us first into the
landscape, then into the past, a process Blackburn repeats until we
are mesmerized.” —The Boston Globe
　　“[A] singular, empathetic homage….Blackburn’s attempt to see with
Goya’s eyes…is most successful and moving. . . .She writes like a
painter of still lives.” —The Observer (London)
　　“Blackburn’s prose is elegant and precise, illuminated by
intelligence, curiosity, and a refined visual sense . . . [She]
beautifully conveys the changed reality of the newly deaf painter.”
—Literary Review
