"Arky Levin has reached a creative dead end. Guilty and restless after an unexpected separation from his wife, almost by chance he stumbles upon an art exhibit that will change his life. Based on a real piece of performance art, the installation that the fictional Arky Levin discovers is inexplicably powerful. Visitors to the Museum of Modern Art sit across a table from artist Marina Abramovi for as short or long a period of time as they choose. Although some go in skeptical, almost all leave moved. And the participants are not the only ones to find themselves changed by this unusual experience: Arky finds himself returning daily to watch others with Abramovi. As the performance unfolds over the course of 75 days, so too does Arky. As he bonds with other people drawn to the exhibit, he slowly starts to understand what might be missing in his life and what he must do"-- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Countless people came to MoMA to see Abramovic sit quietly at a table and stare quietly at a series of volunteers who sat opposite her. What does she see and think, and what do the volunteers experience?
Rose's main characters are people who become fascinated with Abramovic's show and find themselves drawn back again and again to observe this strange performance. They include: Levin, a composer rejected by his grievously ill wife; Jane, a recently-bereaved art teacher; and Brittika, a Eurasian arts student doing a thesis on Abramovic. Their reactions to what they see in Abramovic's performance allow them to break through creative and emotional barriers in their own lives and reach towards resolutions.
The novel's narrative voice occasionally drifts into a more obscure viewpoint that seems to be some kind of muse helping the characters towards these outcomes. Marina's dead mother also appears at times. I confess to not quite grasping the import of these devices, and they didn't do much for me, but overall I thought this an excellent and original novel. (
