My family attended this exhibition at the MET in NYC during this past year. I purchased the tagged book as a complement to the extraordinary exhibit. Reading it has added new depth to my knowledge of Manet & Degas, their relationship, their “rivalry.”

Burnt Echo reading today while snuggled in bed. #readyourkindle #serieslove2024 Hope to finish A Grief Observed tomorrow. Reading just a few chapters in The Cabaret of Plants, & The Art of Rivalry (Started ages ago). All 3 #NFNovember choices. Donna Leon, my escape to Venice & mystery.

2) tagged book, The Art of Rivalry

I picked up this fascinating, informative book at the Met today. On the train home I read about the artists Freud & Bacon, who I am ashamed to say I knew absolutely nothing about until this book.
It was such fun to see the City all dressed up for The holidays!

March Madness. I‘m a Tar Heel born; I‘m a Tar Heel bred; and when I die, I‘ll be a Tar Heel dead.
What an amazing run from Saint Peter‘s though!
This is my favorite book about the Tobacco Road Rivalry, and now the first-ever Carolina-Dook matchup in the Final Four.
In the manga Haikyu!! the allusion used in one of the chapters would be when a certain character calls out his teammate by comparing his looks to that of “sadako“. The author uses this allusion to show how this character's looks compare to the central character and antagonist of Koji Suzuki's Ring Trilogy novels, whose face is concealed behind her long black hair.
