"At first, Elizabeth Tallent's ''Museum Pieces'' may seem like just another trendy novel about trendy, fashionably artsy people. It isn't. Writing with a keen, quicksilver appreciation of her characters' inner lives and with a poet's eye for the luminous, skewed details of daily life, Miss Tallent has created a lyrical, resonant novel, a novel about the complicated geometry of emotions between men and women, parents and their children - the sad, surprising ways in which we engage and disengage our feelings, our difficulty connecting with those for whom we care and our labored mediations between time past, time present and the time to come. ---MICHIKO KAKUTANI, Books of the Times.Book is in excellent shape but DJ has a three inch tear along rear panel on spine.
