In 1994 in Wroclaw, Poland. Artist Tadeusz Lipski confesses to a murder, claiming his crime was committed for love. He shares his cell with Miler, a man also born in Wroclaw, and while awaiting trial, they exchange memories of living in a country overwhelmed by oppression, corruption, and the legacy of German occupation. Miler s life has revolved around the black market; he is one of the true artists of crime. Tadeusz s crime has been to live the life of an artist. He found love with the beautiful Zuzanna, who seduced him as he immortalized her in his painting " The Horizontal Woman "but Tadeusz also found deceit, political intrigue, and murder. "The Horizontal Woman" is a novel not only about Poland, from Hitler to Solidarity, but about loveof country, of art, and of a woman." |
