Many students of great literature will never touch Paint It Black, largely due to the lazy assumption that the work of any author singled out by Oprah’s Book Club best belongs in the hands of mawkish stay-at-home mothers. Fitch’s second novel is not sentimental. An artist’s suicide marks the start of the narrative, and it is refreshing how skillfully Fitch handles the tragedy. It is never treated romantically as so much art obfuscates the plain fact that death is a cold period, not an exclamation point to a genius’s life, or a harmless question that can be tossed about the mind on a drive to work. The tragic and the triumphant are often mistaken, and Paint It Black helps readers see the two not as opposites, but as cross-stitched seams that dash and dart through one another intersecting regularly. This novel is great. Many pages do not sing, and several passages are expected and fall flat like bad jokes. Yet the book is great still, proving that any special novel is an intangible whole much greater than the sum of its sentences. The protagonist is mired in grief throughout the entirety of the book, and Fitch carefully exposes the sincerity of this young woman who believes in a true world but does not know how to begin prayers that presuppose such belief. In Paint It Black, there are no grand pronouncements of redemption. There are no turgid truths pushed forward by lofty language. In part through the broken english of a Mexican maid, Fitch delivers terse revelations on love, beauty, and will that many texts in the canon of great literature promise to teach in word with the lesson lost in its advertisement.
