Donatello Loves His David in The Medici Boy

After seventeen books of poems and fiction, John L'Heureux got a Guggenheim to write this, his eleventh novel, The Medici Boy [Kindle], about Donatello's crush on the model he used to sculpt David. The artist's sexual infatuation with, then love for, the young urchin / hustler Agnolo Mattei leads him to create the first freestanding bronze nude in more than a thousand years... and worse. Nobel laureate J.M. Coetzee says it's a "gripping story of love, genius, and betrayal."
