A book left behind in an airport taxi learns worrisome secrets about its readers. A newly acclaimed painter tracks down every person she's ever loved and puts them on canvas, forcing herself to really see other people, even if this means risking finally seeing herself. A grieving woman follows a guidebook through Switzerland and gathers, at every stop, a connection to an artist or artwork that guides her way.

Join Angela O’Keeffe, Joseph Earp and Claire Thomas as they discuss their inventive, tender and compelling novels, stories that are as much about their enduring fascination with art and literature as they are about their protagonists. Considering voice, character and history, let these brilliant authors expand your own understanding of creativity, in conversation with editor and writer Grace Lucas-Penngington.
