Synopsis: Charles Strickland has a happy life – a good marriage, two children, and a successful career as a stockbroker. But something is missing, and Charles leaves everything behind to pursue a career as an artist. He moves from hotel to hotel, surviving on the grace of his friend, a more successful painter, caring only about the pursuit of his craft – a pursuit that increasingly leads him to misuse and discard those around him.
The story is told by an observing narrator, who has to cobble together the details of Strickland's life from his own memory, and that of those who knew him.
