42. Seattle Arts & Lectures - Tracy Chevalier Vermeer paintings are like a window, tracy chevalier says, musing on the enduring fascination of the seventeenthcentury painter. http://www.lectures.org/chevalier.html

Novelist Benaroya Hall, 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, February 9, 2005 Biography Excerpt Selected Works Links Underwritten by Gull Industries Biography Born in Washington, D.C., Chevalier dreamed from childhood of being a writer. "I wanted," she says, "to be a part of the making of something I loved." The author of four novels to date, she is currently doing research on the poet-painter William Blake. She received her B.A. from Oberlin College and an M.A. from University of East Anglia in England. She lives in London. Excerpt from Girl with a Pearl Earring "Look out the window." I looked out. It was a breezy day, with clouds disappearing behind the New Church tower. "What color are those clouds?" "Why, white, sir." He raised his eyebrows slightly. "Are they?" I glanced at them. "And grey. Perhaps it will snow." "Come, Griet, you can do better than that. Think of your vegetables."

How does she build a convincing impression of the characters and their circumstances in this unusual household on Papists Corner in Delft between 1664 - 1676? The novel "Girl with a Pearl Earring" is based around Vermeer's painting of the same name. Griet is a young girl sent to be a maid when her father, a tile painter, is put out of work. The novel follows her for two years while she works at the house and when she returns to her place of work ten years later. The novel is written from her viewpoint.

skip to main skip to sidebar Fig Tree Franglais by Tatiana A writer's blog by Tatiana de Rosnay Tracy Chevalier "I once heard English novelist Ian Mc Ewan compare writing a novel to crossing an ocean in a canoe : you spend months, years without a horizon in sight. And yet now I have crossed that ocean 5 times. Like childbirth, you forget the pain afterwards." Tracy Chevalier I'm never disappointed by a Tracy Chevalier novel. The Girl with the pearl earring was the first one I read, followed by the Lady and the Unicorn and Falling Angels . She spins a special magic each time around. She has a "voice", her own voice, immediately recognizable. A rare and special gift for a writer. The only two books I have not yet read are her first one, The Virgin Blue , which I've heard great things about, and her last, Burning Bright , both of which are on my wish list. I remember reading a review that said she had given " the kiss of life to the historical novel" but I don't find her books to be 'historical" at all. Historical conveys something dowdy, dusty and dreary, and to me, her novels have a specifically modern touch to them even if they are not set in our present century. (How does she do that ?)

Slight edgewear slight crease to spine clean tight bright pages. With precisely 35 canvases to his credit, the Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer represents one of the great enigmas of 17th-century art. The meager facts of his biography have been gleaned from a handful of legal documents. Yet Vermeer's extraordinary paintings of domestic life, with their subtle play of light and texture, have come to define the Dutch golden age. His portrait of the anonymous Girl with a Pearl Earring has exerted a particular fascination for centuriesand it is this magnetic painting that lies at the heart of Tracy Chevalier's second novel of the same title. P79946-Penguin. Paperback. Very Good ++.
