His very different Martin narrative replaces oracular metaphysics and sweeping Zen-inflected edicts with an intimate account of seven rollercoaster years with a maddening, self-centered, and abusive, if brilliant, artist...The picture of Martin that emerges is one of an artist at once imperious and needy, certain of her rectitude, driven and self-absorbed."
