The Horse’s Mouth is Joyce Cary’s comic novel about Gulley Jimson, an impoverished and unruly painter whose devotion to art causes chaos for everyone around him. A sharp, energetic portrait of artistic obsession, it is the best-known novel in Cary’s First Trilogy and remains a notable work of twentieth-century British fiction.
