Combining meticulous research with nail-biting storytelling, Erik Larson has crafted a narrative with all the wonder of newly discovered history and the thrills of the best fiction.</span></span></div></div><div data-block="true" data-editor="9pmof" data-offset-key="79v51-0-0"><div data-offset-key="79v51-0-0"><span data-offset-key="79v51-0-0"><br data-text="true"></span></div></div><div data-block="true" data-editor="9pmof" data-offset-key="d1o65-0-0"><div data-offset-key="d1o65-0-0"><span data-offset-key="d1o65-0-0"><span data-text="true">Two men, each handsome and unusually adept at his chosen work, embodied an element of the great dynamic that characterized America’s rush toward the twentieth century. The architect was Daniel Hudson Burnham, the fair’s brilliant director of works and the builder of many of the country’s most important structures, including the Flatiron Building in New York and Union Station in Washington, D.C. The murderer was Henry H. Holmes, a young doctor who, in a malign parody of the White City, built his “World’s Fair Hotel” just west of the fairgrounds—a torture palace complete with dissection table, gas chamber, and 3,000-degree crematorium. </span></span></div></div><div data-block="true" data-editor="9pmof" data-offset-key="1o201-0-0"><div data-offset-key="1o201-0-0"><span data-offset-key="1o201-0-0"><br data-text="true"></span></div></div><div data-block="true" data-editor="9pmof" data-offset-key="bie8c-0-0"><div data-offset-key="bie8c-0-0"><span data-offset-key="bie8c-0-0"><span data-text="true">Burnham overcame tremendous obstacles and tragedies as he organized the talents of Frederick Law Olmsted, Charles McKim, Louis Sullivan, and others to transform swampy Jackson Park into the White City, while Holmes used the attraction of the great fair and his own satanic charms to lure scores of young women to their deaths. What makes the story all the more chilling is that Holmes really lived, walking the grounds of that dream city by the lake.</span></span></div></div><div data-block="true" data-editor="9pmof" data-offset-key="8aivc-0-0"><div data-offset-key="8aivc-0-0"><span data-offset-key="8aivc-0-0"><br data-text="true"></span></div></div><div data-block="true" data-editor="9pmof" data-offset-key="4edji-0-0"><div data-offset-key="4edji-0-0"><span data-offset-key="4edji-0-0"><span data-text="true">The Devil in the White City draws the reader into a time of magic and majesty, made all the more appealing by a supporting cast of real-life characters, including Buffalo Bill, Theodore Dreiser, Susan B. Anthony, Thomas Edison, Archduke Francis Ferdinand, and others. Erik Larson’s gifts as a storyteller are magnificently displayed in this rich narrative of the master builder, the killer, and the great fair that obsessed them both.</span></span></div></div> 2019-08-04 19:00:00 -0500

Art Lovers Book Club / Lydia Cassatt Reading the Morning Paper by Harriet Scott Chessman
<p>Harriet Scott Chessman takes us into the world of Mary Cassatt's early Impressionist paintings through Mary's sister Lydia, whom the author sees as Cassatt’s most inspiring muse. Chessman hauntingly brings to life Paris in 1880, with its thriving art world. The novel’s subtle power rises out of a sustained inquiry into art’s relation to the ragged world of desire and mortality. Ill with Bright’s disease and conscious of her approaching death, Lydia contemplates her world narrowing. With the rising emotional tension between the loving sisters, between one who sees and one who is seen, Lydia asks moving questions about love and art’s capacity to remember. Chessman illuminates Cassatt’s brilliant paintings and creates a compelling portrait of the brave and memorable model who inhabits them with such grace. Lydia Cassatt Reading the Morning Paper includes five full-color plates, the entire group of paintings Mary Cassatt made of her sister.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> 2019-07-19 17:00:00 -0500

Art Lover’s Book Club / There's a Mystery There: The Primal Vision of Maurice Sendak by Jonathan Cott
<p><strong>An extraordinary, path-breaking, and penetrating book on the life and work and creative inspirations of the great children's book genius Maurice Sendak, who since his death in 2012 has only grown in his stature and recognition as a major American artist.</strong><br><br><br>Polymath and master interviewer Jonathan Cott first interviewed Maurice Sendak in 1976 for <em>Rolling Stone, </em>just at the time when <em>Outside Over There</em>, the concluding and by far the strangest volume of a trilogy that began with <em>Where The Wild Things Are</em> and <em>In the Night Kitchen</em>, was gestating. Over the course of their wide-ranging and revelatory conversation about his life, work, and the fantasies and obsessions that drove his creative process, they focused on many of the themes and images that would appear in the new book five years later. Drawing on that interview, <em>There's a Mystery There</em> is a profound examination of the inner workings of a complicated genius's torments and inspirations that ranges over the entirety of his work and his formative life experiences, and uses <em>Outside Over There</em>, brilliantly and originally, as the key to understanding just what made this extravagantly talented man tick. To gain multiple perspectives on that intricate and multifaceted book, Cott also turns to four "companion guides": a Freudian analyst, a Jungian analyst, an art historian, and Sendak's great friend and admirer, the playwright Tony Kushner. The book is richly illustrated with examples from Sendak's work and other related images.</p><p> </p> 2019-07-19 17:00:00 -0500
