Contrapposto

Dave Eggers

in conversation with Jim James

25 years ago, Dave Eggers gave us A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, a remarkable bestselling memoir. Now five years since he’s published his last book, he’s coming to the ALOUD stage to talk about his highly anticipated forthcoming novel about friendship, love, and the lifelong pursuit of art, Contrapposto. Moving and witty, the book examines the rules and the market forces of the art world, but chiefly it’s about two friends who believe they can change the world and bring new meaning to it.
