Among them: James Bennett, a synesthetic art critic for \u003ci\u003eThe\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e whose unlikely condition enables him to describe art in profound, magical ways, and Raul Engales, an exiled Argentinian painter running from his past and the Dirty War that has enveloped his country. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAs the two men ascend in the downtown arts scene, dual tragedies strike, and each is faced with a loss that acutely affects his relationship to life and to art. It is not until they are inadvertently brought together by Lucy Olliason—a small town beauty and Raul’s muse—and a young orphan boy sent mysteriously from Buenos Aires, that James and Raul are able to rediscover some semblance of what they’ve lost.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e “Innovative to the max” (\u003ci\u003eBustle\u003c\/i\u003e) and reminiscent as Jennifer Egan’s \u003ci\u003eA Visit From The Goon Squad \u003c\/i\u003eand as sweeping as Meg Wolitzer’s \u003ci\u003eThe Interestings\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eTuesday Nights in 1980\u003c\/i\u003e boldly renders a complex moment when the meaning and nature of art is being all but upended, and New York City as a whole is reinventing itself. In “vivid and sensitive” (\u003ci\u003eVulture\u003c\/i\u003e) prose that is as powerful as it is playful, Molly Prentiss deftly explores the need for beauty, community, creation, and love in an ever-changing urban landscape.","brand":"Gallery\/Scout Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44204499042559,"sku":"9781501121050","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781501121050_s600x595.jpg?v=1775502818","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781501121050","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
