Joe Tucker
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
One of the crowd and yet one of a kind. The astonishing story of 'The Secret Lowry'.
Joe Tucker’s Uncle Eric was a beloved yet unconventional figure throughout his life. A shambolically dressed man who lived with his mother for almost eighty years, he appeared to exist only for daily trips to the bookie – and yet had also quietly amassed over five hundred of his own remarkable paintings without anyone ever realising his achievements.
In this touching, funny and thoughtful investigation into the nature of expression, the ownership of art and the secret life of those nearest to us, Joe Tucker brings us into his uncle’s world – and brings Eric Tucker’s life’s work into ours.

批評家のレビュー
"The Secret Painter is so much more than a sentimental rags to riches yarn. Joe uses his uncle's extraordinary life to tell a broader story about the way that working-class people in the twentieth century were excluded from art-making. [A] thoughtful, funny book"
"A timely reminder that art did not originate as an investment opportunity or a get-rich-quick scheme but as a way for human beings to make sense of their lives (plus make them bearable into the bargain). Miracles happen in the most unlikely places" (JARVIS COCKER)
"The Secret Painter is a bracingly northern corrective to the metropolitan hype and verbiage that surrounds so much art. [ . . . ] Joe Tucker writes with beautiful casualness"
"I was hooked from the first couple of pages . . . A lovely read" (ALASTAIR CAMPBELL)
"This memoir is beautifully written, affectionate, witty and touching . . . With its idiosyncratic blend of serious purpose and disarming humour, The Secret Painter is a fitting tribute to its subject"
"A fascinating one-off biography, which lays out the hypocrisy and snobbery of this country's "cultural elite" with an enviable lightness of touch [ . . . ] a book with steel in its heart"
"This warm, often funny book, is a real gem"
"Joe Tucker is a natural storyteller and The Secret Painter is a brilliant, engrossing read. Tucker discovers and uncovers a rich and fascinating tale hidden in his own family. What he finds, and how he acts upon it, will change their world forever, and his book serves as an important reminder to all of us that the great stories in our lives are often closer to us than we think" (LEMN SISSAY)
"[A] warm, witty and honest book. [Joe Tucker] approaches his uncle’s life with all the love of a relative, but also the clear-eyed curiosity of a true biographer"
"A moving account of how the creative imagination can flourish in the most inhospitable circumstances"
