PET WORLD ISHIHARA 125 60cm # & ###GEX YouTube Eye. The Bath Fugues is a meditation on melancholy and art, in the form of three interwoven novellas. The stories centre respectively on an ageing art forger, a Portuguese poet and opium addict who is also an art collector, and a doctor who has built an art gallery in tropical Queensland. These characters are tied by more than their art, each dealing with questions of deception and discovery, counterfeiting and rewriting, transmission and identity. Each character stretches the bonds of trust and friendship in their own unique way.
