Description

A museum of stories, curated by a sort-of Mary Cassatt. Four rooms of Mary's museum are open to the public, and they are named Eduoard Manet, Edgar Degas, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, and Mary Cassatt. Contains sixty-three little stories--plates--spun from real paintings by these painters. The stories range from sweet to weird, from melancholy to funny. This isn't just a short story collection, and it isn't a novel, but something else entirely. The plates each stand alone, offering startling visions and situations. Offers the depth of a novel, with recurring characters, themes, and motifs.
