Review:
Brilliantly and evocatively written. (Antonia Fraser Daily Mail)
[Peppiatt's] account of the evolution of Bacon's artistic ideas is confident, amusing and thought-provoking. (Richard Davenport-Hines The Independent)

Anatomy of an Engima will surely remain a uniquely authoritative and readable account of the man who once confided, 'it may sound pretentious but you see I have had the most extraordinary life'. (Literary Review)
One of the most important and insightful writings on the artist (Art Newspaper)
