Readers who have not had the exquisite experience of reading Djelloul Marbrook’s work—his poems or his first novel, Saraceno—would do well to start with Artemesia’s Wolf. It’s simply enchanting

It stopped my heart, cracked my head, tore my rotator cuff, turned me purple
and made my crotch bleed. Just for starters. Then the fun began.

So begins ARTEMESIA'S WOLF by Djelloul Marbrook. The day I received this book, I sat down in my reading chair and didn’t get up again until I was finished.

Lightning has struck Artemesia in more ways than one; her life, her body, her mind is torn to pieces. It is all put back together with the help of a White Wolf (who is not seen by everyone). Artemesia leaves the hospital and begins life on a new and disturbing plain. She re-enters the world, finding it very different than she left it. This is a mesmerizing novel—as surreal, and disturbing as the readers’ introduction into the New York art community. This is a novel about about women (mainly women in the arts), the obstructions they face in a world dominated by men, and about the magic of change.

Djelloul Marbrook writes about oppression with sensitivity and insight. As a woman in the arts, I found the novel addressing me directly and looking into my own heart and mind as if it were written about and for me. I think most readers will see themselves somewhere in this story, either as oppressor or oppressed. Whichever self is discovered in this novel, the journey will most certainly be a magical mystery tour.

By Doug Ramsdell (276 Days Ago)I don't encounter language like the author's every day, and so I enjoyed just sitting with passages and sort of letting them seep in. Quite apart from the "story" aspects, it's energizing to re-experience city settings I see every day filtered through a completely different sensibility. I'm pretty much a "dese, dem and dose" kind of reader, and it was wonderful to slow down and spend time with the story and the sensibility, and I still feel a little in the grasp of it... not seeing any white wolves yet, but alert in some way for opportunities to see past my ordinary experiential limitations. That's what's especially invigorating for me about reading "Artemisia's Wolf," the sort of "Mozart effect" it's having on my own perceptions. I'm looking forward to Saraceno, which I have downloaded on my desktop. --Doug Ramsdell, NYC
Artemesia's Wolf

By Annie Breault Darling (249 Days Ago)Artemesia is a heroine for our time. Long may she live in each of us! As a painter who was caught in the insidious 'art world', I relate to Artemesia. Djelloul's book is a contemplative, sensitive and mythological portrait of women in the 'art world'. I must say I was a bit shocked that a man could tell the truth of what it is like to be a 'female' painter and have to fight and scrap just for a place among one's fellow artists. To have to chum with the boys, or give it up with my good looks for just one more show. Thank you for this delightful, important and soul-affirming read, Djelloul. I am looking forward to Far from Algiers.
