"Contrapposto: A Novel". Contrapposto is a classical pose for human statues.
A biography about an artist, art and relationships. Funny, a style typical of Dave Eggers. Enjoyable.

When you take a look at a book, and it looks back...

Just finished reading "The Language of Spells" by Garrett Weyr with illustrations by Katie Harnett. An *excellent* book, not high fantasy but instead a tale of an ordinary kid who happens to get caught up in some extraordinary business when she makes a friend.
I absolutely love the parenting example that the book sets, the ways it deals with grief, its unique conception of magic (and of dragons), and its steadfast commitment to the personal over the epic perspective.
Meets and exceeds the "will I recommend it to my kids" bar that quite a few things I've read recently have failed to clear.

What to do with a bunch of defeated Atheneans in Sicily in 400 BC? Let them perform Euripides, of course.
"Glorious Exploits", a striking storyline, well written by Ferdia Lennon.

Writing this story took me back to my favorite class discussions in college. Minus the violence part, of course. Love how @gargoyle.pastures gives every figure here their own personality in this art for the upcoming book. #bookstodon

"The Running Grave" is a whole lot better than the previous Cormoran Strike. A bulky book, telling you to stay clear of cults. By Robert Galbraith

1/ Alexander Stille's brilliantly titled /The Future of the Past/ is a fascinating, thought-provoking, and sometimes frustrating book. A collection of mostly New Yorker essays, Stille examines what knowledge, memory, and even meaning mean. #BookReview ↵

Just finished "Across the Widest Sea" by Jean Cremers. An excellent graphic novel about found family, the open ocean, and the unfairness of life. I really like how there's a lot that the book just refuses to explain and you just have to accept how things are as a reader, which mirrors the dietetic situation pretty closely.

Just finished "Furia" by Yamile Saied Méndez. An excellent book about a young Argentinean woman who wants to play fútbol, and all of the barriers she faces, including from even the most well-meaning men in her life.
I particularly liked the handling of the romantic subplot.

"The Ministery of Time" by Kaliane Bradley is a witty mix of a character from the Franklin expedition caught up in the present, and the oddities of time-travel and friendship.

"Up Above the City, Down Beneath the Stars". The biography of Barry Adamson.
Sex, drugs, rock 'n' roll, the usual ingredients are all there. And he's a good storyteller.
