I have a burning desire to reread Vonnegut's Bluebeard today.

(I *think* my urge has to do with this book questioning the plausibility of creating art with meaning and integrity in a world that often lacks both. But I'll have to reread to be sure!)

Anyone else having a certain book or author calling to them these days?

@MLClark

you've given me another read‼️

that's how i see the art industry market, having spent a good part of my youth in that environment. cutthroat much?

one painter called himself Art Rat and there was a group that thou itself as the art mafia.

i feel sorry for artists having to deal with those human sharks.

I think you're going to love it.

It's never just about one thing with Vonnegut. This piece gives us an artist haunted by Armenian genocide - and a rotter in his own right, too. All things in Vonnegut, as in life, are meant to be held lightly because life *burns*.

@MLClark @holon42 Have read a number of Vonnegut novels, but it's been a while. He does have many layers to him

@MLClark

i've read some of his novels, quite awhile ago. it'll be fun getting into his mind again. it's always an adventure.
