Booked For Lunch
Fourth Monday of each month at noon - Next Meeting: Setptember 28, 2026 at noon
Booked for Lunch will meet on Monday, September 28th at noon to discuss Contrapposto by Dave Eggers.
"Cricket Dibb, born on the American prairie, has no particular prospects or ambitions until, in grade school, he realizes he can draw. He soon meets a girl, Olympia Argyros, one year older, who is captivating and brilliant and far more worldly. Recognizing his talent, she convinces him to deface, with profound vulgarity, a popular playground. Under her direction, he does it willingly, already in love, and thus begins a sixty-five-year entwining between Cricket and Olympia, encompassing friendship, working partnership and love affair. Together they go to art school--an experience of dubious value--and then navigate the art world for the next fifty years, together and apart." from the book jacket
