Description
A shy young artist and a bolder, older muse meet and are quickly swept into a shared belief that art can remake the world. As their relationship deepens, they dream aloud about travel, beauty, and the future—only to find time accelerating, the art world shifting beneath them, and their plans arriving in unexpected, sometimes painful ways. Through seductions, disappointments, and the constant pressure to prove themselves, they must keep asking what it means to be an artist, what to love, and how to stay open-eyed and open-hearted when ideals are tested. With Dave Eggers’ signature blend of lyrical intensity and restless momentum, this is a wild, tender novel about movements, charlatans, and the hard-won courage required to remain devoted to beauty without going mad.
