Publisher Description

The Real Thing is, on one level, a somewhat ironic tale of an artist and two rather particular models. Yet it also raises questions about the relationship between the notion of reality in our humdrum world, and the means that an artist must use in trying to achieve, or reflect, that reality.

Concisely written

Not much happens, I'm afraid, in this story, but the tension between artistic "make-believe" and depicted realism is palpable. One of the great shorts I've read.
