Award-winning author of “The Circle” and the memoir “A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius,” Dave Eggers shares his first novel in five years–a sweeping story about friendship, love, and the lifelong pursuit of art. Cricket Dib has no particular prospects or ambitions until, in grade school, he realizes he can draw. He soon meets a girl, the captivating and brilliant Olympia Argyros. Together they go to art school—an experience of dubious value—and then navigate the art world for the next fifty years. “Contrapposto” is a moving and very funny novel about allies and soulmates, and what it means to be an artist.
