In Arts and Wonders, Gregory Norminton crafts a darkly comic tale of ambition, deception, and the grotesque allure of fame. The novel follows Peter Strudwick, a disfigured art historian whose obsession with beauty and recognition propels him through the courts and carnivals of 17th-century Europe. As he navigates a world of charlatans, collectors, and corrupt patrons, Strudwicks journey becomes a biting satire on vanity and the commodification of art. Normintons prose is rich and ironic, blending historical detail with moral ambiguity to explore how far one might go to be remembered.
