SUMMARY:Dave Eggers - Contrapposto
DESCRIPTION:With Dave Eggers In conversation with Doug Johnstone\n\nWe're d
 elighted that Dave Eggers is coming to Portobello on the UK tour for his b
 rand new novel\, Contrapposto . Twenty years in the making\, it's a novel 
 about art\, life and the complicated beauty of both – from the author of
  The Circle and A Hologram for the King . Eggers will be in conversation w
 ith fellow author Doug Johnstone.\n\nThis event will take place in the boo
 kshop with an in-person audience\, as well as a livestream for attendees w
 atching from home. There will be a signing after the event.\n\nCricket is 
 just a shy kid who likes drawing when he first meets Olympia. She’s olde
 r\, more confident\; she bullies him into some light vandalism and instant
 ly he’s in love. When they’re together\, they talk about their futures
 \, how they’re going to travel the world\, the beauty and rapture of art
 .\n\nThen those futures start to arrive in unexpected ways\, the years and
  decades pile up between them\, the art world seduces and disappoints and 
 frustrates them. And they have to figure out\, again and again\, what it i
 s to be an artist\, and who and what to love.
