Elizabeth Kostova will talk about her latest novel, The Swan Thieves with Amanda Smith, presenter of Artworks on ABC Radio National.

The Swan Thieves is the much-anticipated new novel from the author of the international bestseller, The Historian.

When Robert Oliver, a renowned painter, attacks a famous canvas in the National Gallery of Art, psychiatrist Andrew Marlowe is intrigued and takes him on as a patient. But the seemingly random act of violence is a mere scratch on the surface of something altogether more mysterious.

Told through the narratives of the psychiatrist and each of the women in Robert Oliver’s life, The Swan Thieves is a fascinating story about the nature of obsession as seen from the outside.
