Contrapposto by Dave Eggers
A phenomenal novel ... I laughed, I cried, I melted with love!!!
We meet Cricket and Olympia .....(two of my favorite literary characters 'ever'). I'm sooo in love with this book .. a long life friendship is bonded through art with wonderful sketches by Dave Eggers, himself, that are so beautiful....that even the drawings brought tears to my eyes. I was sad that the book ended.
