Beskrivning
A BBC RADIO 2 BOOKCLUB PICK 'A book of profundity, humanity and ravishing beauty - the only kind of book I want to read' - ANDREW SEAN GREER 'Glorious and captivating, with Eggers' signature humour and precision, Contrapposto tells a big and big-hearted story that counter-positions exquisitely the pain and exhilarations of love and the creative impulse. I loved this novel' - LILY KING'This book speaks to my heart. With wit, wisdom, and deep empathy, Contrapposto asks all the hard questions that haunt and enliven a creative life - about art and beauty, about commerce and class, about the cost of passion and the price of success' - RUTH OZEKIContrapposto is a wild and beautiful novel about two friends who believe they can change the world - if only they can start their own movement, dodge charlatans, remain open-eyed and open-hearted, avoid going mad, avoid dying young of rare cancers, stay true to their ideals and never tire of beauty. Not easy, but not impossible, either. Twenty years in the making, Contrapposto is the magnificent new novel by the award-winning Dave Eggers - a story about art and life and the complicated beauty of both.

Recensioner i media

Contrapposto answers the question, "Why are novels irreplaceable?" From page one, I fell in love with its perfectly flawed characters, its big beating heart, its brain and its language. What a sublime act of fiction
