About this listen

 The Real Thing unfolds an ironic narrative centered around an artist and two uniquely intriguing models. It delves into the complex interplay between reality in our everyday lives and the artistic methods employed to capture or reflect that reality. Although the protagonist is an illustrator rather than a writer, it’s easy to see that James may be drawing inspiration from his own experiences and those of fellow writers.
