This is the story of a man who fell in love with a woman in the form of a cello. Abandoned by his muse, Oliver Orme has stopped painting. He may no longer be a painter, but he will always be a thief. He steals not for money, but for the almost erotic pleasure of taking something from another. Possessions like the irresistible Polly, the wife of his close friend Marcus. When this theft comes to light, with irreparable consequences for the four of them (Marcus, Polly, Orme and his wife, Gloria), the culprit takes refuge in his childhood home, and from there tells the story of a year, from autumn to autumn, full of shocks and surprises. A journey that will force him to confront himself and search for a path to redemption.Biting, witty, moving and shattering, The Blue Guitar designs the nature of artistic creation and theft, of jealousy and human relationships, and the ways in which we try to possess each other, and cling to ourselves.
