Dave Eggers: Contrapposto. With Torben Kessler
With his new novel, Dave Eggers (“The Circle”) proves that he is one of America’s best contemporary authors. For Cricket and Olympia, a playground dare marks the beginning of a life-long friendship that outlasts everything: art school, the hype of the global art market, wars, triumphs and tragic losses. While Cricket sees Olympia as his destiny, she is always looking towards the next horizon – and the next lover. But in a world full of charlatans, they are the only constants in each other’s lives. Contrapposto is a moving and humorous tribute to friendship and the radical gamble of dedicating one’s life to art.
