Publisher's Description

A great artist is cast into the icy Harlem River by a hit-and-run driver. His heart stops, and he sees something that defies description. Presumed dead by all who knew him and obsessed with the desire to paint the inexpressible, he embarks on a pilgrimage to seek help from holy men around the globe. But is it possible to see eternity without becoming lost within it? After a quarter of a century, when the world begins to whisper that he may be alive, two people come looking for the artist: the daughter he never knew existed, and the murderer who hit him on the bridge all those years ago.

Editorial Reviews

"Dickson's writing paints glorious pictures of each exotic locale, while weaving a most compelling story that includes elements of religion, art, murder, and redemption. Highly recommended read to lovers of art and suspense. Completely enjoyable."
“Exquisitely written, meticulously researched, and richly detailed, Athol Dickson's The Opposite of Art is a fascinating and magical journey into the worlds of art and faith, murder and intrigue.”
“Athol Dickson has created an elegant and gritty masterpiece, nuanced by allegory and delivered in resplendent prose. This lyrical novel can’t be rushed; it must be sipped, savored, and pondered to attain the lasting afterglow.”
"Athol Dickson truly is one of the most gifted storytellers of our day. His imagination is exquisite and his word choices artistic. The Opposite of Art will live within me for a very long time."
“Dickson's latest work is breathtaking, sad and terrible, ugly and glorious, and shocking all at once, as full of grace as it is of truth. Unforgettable.”
“Once again Athol Dickson proves his skill as a writer as he takes his readers on a pilgrimage. The story spins through continents and characters but never leaves the reader behind. This is more than a novel. It is an experience. Once again, Dickson triumphs.”
“Athol Dickson pens an honest, gritty story of an artist tormented by love. He takes the reader into the world of art, greed, murder, and mystery. If you value art, mysteries, a wild ride across time, and around the globe, you’ll enjoy The Opposite of Art!”
“After reading the first chapter, I felt an overwhelming need to know what happened next. Forget the ringing phone, never mind dinner, tell the children to pipe down—I had to keep reading. And I discovered that powerful opening was followed by a fully-developed story satisfying in every way. The Opposite of Art is a beautiful novel.”
The Opposite of Art draws the reader in a way seldom accomplished in a novel. A powerful, moving story of reconciliation and redemption. Dickson has written another page-turner.”
“Masterful imagery, unforgettable characters, and a compelling journey in search of answers to the fundamental questions of life. A book to be savored, themes to be discussed with friends, and a story to treasure for years to come.”
The Opposite of Art is classic Athol Dickson: a powerful, well-crafted story with thoughtful symbolism and deep resonance. A masterpiece! Dickson had better clear a shelf for all the awards this book will win.”
“Dickson’s novel shimmers on the page like a work of art itself, inviting readers to step beyond the evocative prose into the deeper truths within its pages. At once suspenseful and captivating, The Opposite of Art is impossible to put down and impossible to forget."
The Opposite of Art is mesmerizing, intriguing, and inspiring; a story that stays with you long after the last page."
“Athol's passionate, lyrical storytelling reminds me a bit of Salman Rushdie's Shalimar the Clown. Sheridan Ridler's artistic search for Glory is a journey into hope, and I'm profoundly grateful for the privilege of going along.”
The Opposite of Art pulled me in from the first page and held me captive. Characters that are richly drawn, a plot that twists and turns. What a stunning read!”
