The Art of Dying

STAFF RECOMMENDS

"Following a diagnosis of terminal lung cancer, New Yorker art critic Peter Schjeldahl experienced a period of improved health resulting from a series of experimental medical treatments. Taking full advantage of this unexpected time, he authored the forty-six essays collected in this volume. Schjeldahl exhibits a penetrating insight into a wide range of art subjects through an evocative use of language that never condescends or devolves into jargon. These final essays also serve as evidence to the sustaining power of art." - Tim / Book & Media Manager

 
The complete last essays of acclaimed writer Peter Schjeldahl, the great New Yorker art critic and Pulitzer Prize finalist. Paperback, 304 pages.
