Clever, genre-bending...Rose's melancholy book resonates with emotion, touching on life's great dilemmas-death, vocation, love, art., From its conception to its last page, this book challenges our perceptions of where life ends and art begins., The Museum of Modern Love is an unusual and remarkable achievement, a meditation on the social, spiritual, and artistic importance of seeing and being seen. It is rare to encounter a novel with such powerful characterization, such a deep understanding of the consequences of personal and national history, and such dazzling and subtle explorations of the importance of art in everyday life., This captivating work explores the meaning of art in our lives and the ways in which it deepens our understanding of ourselves. As Hannah Rothschild did in The Improbability of Love , Australian author Rose also combines intriguing characters with a laser-sharp focus on art to produce a gem of a novel., This captivating work explores the meaning of art in our lives and the ways in which it deepens our understanding of ourselves...Rose also combines intriguing characters with a laser-sharp focus on art to produce a gem of a novel., One of my stand-out Australian reads...It is a glorious novel, meditative and special in a way that defies easy articulation., A lush tone poem to the life of art and art in life, The Museum of Modern Love coruscates with captivating energy., Framing a love story around a long-durational performance work, where the passage of time is essential, is a profoundly original idea. I love this book.

Synopsis
Our hero, Arky Levin, has reached a creative dead end. An unexpected separation from his wife was meant to leave him with the space he needs to work composing film scores, but it has provided none of the peace of mind he needs to create. Guilty and restless, it is almost by chance that he stumbles upon an art exhibit that will change his life. Based on a real piece of performance art that took place in 2010, the installation that the fictional Arky Levin discovers is inexplicably powerful. Visitors to the Museum of Modern Art sit across a table from the performance artist Marina Abramovic, for as short or long a period of time as they choose. Although some go in skeptical, almost all leave moved. And the participants are not the only ones to find themselves changed by this unusual experience: Arky finds himself returning daily. As the performance unfolds over the course of seventy-five days, so too does Arky. Connecting with other people drawn to the exhibit, he slowly starts to understand what might be missing in his life and what he must do. This is a book about art, but it is also about success and failure, illness, death, and happiness. It's about what it means to find connection in a modern world. And most of all, it is about love, with its limitations and its transcendence.

- r***r (2961)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseBook arrived today, 2 days before deadline given by the seller. Well-packaged & in good condition. Price was very competitive, & the book was accurately listed. Great communication. I appreciate the seller getting back to me when I was having trouble tracking the book's delivery progress. Apparently there were 2 different tracking numbers - one in Canada & the other in the U.S., since it was initially shipped from Canada. Thank you very much for your quick response & helpful information.Rethinking Investing: A Very Short Guide to Very Long-Term Investing by Charles (#396183075510)
- e***_ (15)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseSeller handles a massive inventory so I give them grace on the slow processing and shipping. They were very communicative and prompt with their response when I messaged in asking about it. Book was in good condition as described. Small ding on the page edges which wasn't mentioned, but that's fairly common even at your typical book store. Still a good value and I'd buy from them again.
- 0***i (5)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe first item arrived with some damage to the inside back cover, but the seller responded immediately, assuring me they’d provide a replacement, and even told me I could keep the original. They were upfront about a short delay, and gave a clear estimated ship date, and followed up right on time once it shipped. The replacement arrived in perfect condition and exactly as described. I really appreciated their transparency and professionalism. Would definitely buy from them again!
