Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -A startling dissection of cruelty and artistic creation from the author of In the Company of Men and Your Friends and NeighborsIn a modern version of Adam's seduction by Eve, The Shape of Things pits gentle, awkward, overweight Adam against experienced, analytical, amoral Evelyn, a graduate student in art. After a chance meeting at a museum, Evelyn and Adam embark on an intense relationship that causes shy and principled Adam to go to extraordinary lengths, including cosmetic surgery, and a betrayal of his best friend, to improve his appearance and character. In the process, Evelyn's subtle and insistent coaching results in a reconstruction of Adam's fundamental moral character. Only in a final and shocking exhibition does Evelyn reveal the nature of her interest in Adam, of her detached artist's perspective and sense of authority--to her, Adam is no more than 'flesh. one of the most perfect materials on earth. Natural, beautiful, and malleable.'

To what extent is an artist licensed to shape and change her medium or to alter the work of another artist What is acceptable artistic material At what point does creation become manipulation, and at what point does creation destroy Or, is the new Adam, handsome and confident if heart broken, an admirable result of the most challenging artistic endeavor The Shape of Things challenges society's most deeply entrenched ideas about art, manipulation, and love. …
