The painting’s provenance is disputed and many doubt its existence at all. But Newhouse has uncovered a letter by Rembrandt where the master states, \"That damned painting vexes my mind’s eye.\" As Newhouse struggles with his grief, his grip of reality slowly loosening, he embarks upon a surreal journey of loss and self-discovery, fueled by alcohol, drugs, and self-destructive behavior. As the lines between reality and imagination blur, will George lose himself in his obsession or return from the brink of destruction in time?  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Freight Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50096659955952,"sku":"9781910449042","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781910449042","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
