Two cooped up in the cuckoo’s nest
Blood brothers: Vincent and Paul get all yellow.
Harrumph of the day: My newspaper can’t afford to keep the air-conditioners on all the time anymore, but The Guardian and The Observer don’t think twice about paying two different writers to review the same book when they could easily share one fella’s opinion.
Anyway,the book in question is Martin Gayford’s “The Yellow House: Van Gogh, Gauguin and Nine Turbulent Weeks in Arles”, and the reviewers agree it’s a goodie (though apparently the illustrations are awful, unlike mine). See the rest.
