Anotace
It's 1967. London is Swinging, but New York still rules the art world. And in Toronto, the avant-garde Gonzaga Gallery is starting to get noticed as the city changes from a comfortable post-war backwater into a vital metropolis with a sudden hunger for sophistication. Back Flip zooms in on a jittery, tempestuous little group of artists, dealers, collectors and critics whose lives intersect professionally and romantically. Jane Haigh, the gallery assistant, is looking for experience `or, more precisely, experiences'. Bruno Gonzaga, her boss, trusts nobody, and secretly schemes to achieve absolute power and influence. Eddie O'Hara, an ambitious young painter, inflates his dreams of fame with various illegal substances. Eleanor Zeffler wishes she could ditch her husband, at least for a while, and find true love. Tom Dale, already as famous as a Canadian artist can be, just wants to be left alone in his studio to paint and drink in peace. Win Beecham hopes that Art will cure those middle-aged blues. And Bob Willard is more or less resigned to being a failure. Back Flip evokes a Toronto that is now long gone, but there is nothing picturesque about this excursion into the past. Anne Denoon's dead-aim satire spares no one, and the panorama of delusion and duplicity she creates is timeless.
