Christopher Alessandrini's queer, drily witty \"Maverick Road\" brings us to the contemporary environs of Guston's upstate haven. Ben Okri's \"Bloodymindedness\" is a stark portrait of violence and subversion. In \"Looking,\" Thessaly La Force writes of the lingering power of painting and reputation with a tribute to Guston's exhibition in Venice's Gallerie dell'Accademia. Lou Stoppard's courtroom crucible \"A Verdict\" is a study in Kafkaesque atmosphere. Audrey Wollen works deftly with a kind of Oulipo constraint exercise--Giotto is there, but is Guston himself in \"The Line\"? Look for him, and he is everywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 156\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 9.4 x 6.8 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 16, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51765345354016,"sku":"9780894391026","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/8abfc0072bc38293d3a1f6df423ff771.webp?v=1780266621","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/five-stories-for-philip-guston-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
