SUMMARY:Dave Eggers and Andrew Sean Greer
DESCRIPTION:From bestselling author and Pulitzer Prize finalist Dave Eggers comes his new novel\, Contrapposto\, about prairie-born Cricket Dib\, who has no particular prospects or ambitions until he realizes he can draw. He meets a girl: Olympia Argyros\, who is captivating\, brilliant\, and far more worldly. Olympia recognizes his talent and convinces him to deface a popular playground. Under her direction\, Cricket acts willingly\, and thus begins a sixty-five-year entwining between the two\, encompassing friendship\, working partnership\, and love. They go to art school and then navigate the art world for the next fifty years\, together and apart. \nTheir love changes over the decades\, but their commitment to each other and their search for meaning in the making of art never wanes. Contrapposto is not only about a relationship but about art and what it means to be an artist. The novel spans the globe\, from New York to Thailand\, Indiana to Paris\, and follows Cricket and Olympia through sickness and health\, war and death. \nContrapposto examines the rules and market of the art world\, but it is mainly a story of two friends who believe they can change that world and bring new meaning to it. \nJoining Eggers this evening is his friend\, fellow novelist Andrew Sean Greer\, whose latest work Villa Coco follows a nameless narrator\, an assistant to a wealthy widow. He is charged with the task of archiving art\, but is pulled into far more complicated schemes as he tries to reunite his employer with the love of her life before it is too late. \nBe sure to visit Town Hall Seattle for a conversation that explores the power of art and of human connection.
