Sinopse

A miscellany of sorts, preeminent author and critic Nicholas DelbancoâÇÖsáCuriouser and Curiouseráattests to a lifelong interest in music and the visual arts as well as both 'mere' and 'sheer' literature.áWith essays ranging from the restoration of his father-in-lawâÇÖs famed Stradivarius cello-known throughout the world as 'The Countess of Stanlein'-to a reimagining of H.áA. and Margaret ReyâÇÖs lives and the creation of their most beloved character,áCurious George, Delbanco examines what it means to live and love with the arts. á á Whether exploring the history of personal viewing in the business of museum-going, musing on the process of rewriting oneâÇÖs earliest published work, or looking back on the twists and turns of a life that spans the greater part of the twentieth century and into the twenty-first, DelbancoâÇÖsáCuriouser and Curiouseráinvites adventurous readers to follow him down the rabbit hole as he reflects on life as a student, an observer, a writer, a lover, a father, a teacher, and most importantly, a participant in the everyday experiences of human life. á
