This brilliantly stimulating book canonizes the art essay as the form of the moment, and shows what it makes possible. Boldly claiming that the novel is now a satellite orbiting the essay, it gathers essays by exciting contemporary novelists on art and watches the critical, creative, and formal sparks fly. --Kathryn Murphy, University of Oxford As joyous as it is intelligent, Art Essays proves once and for all that the best essays enchant us with the same splendor and humor and passion as the best novels or the most striking paintings. --Merve Emre, University of Oxford
