Politics & Prose at Busboys and Poets, Takoma, welcomes B.A. Shapiro to discuss his new book The Muralist.
Shapiro, author of The Art Forger, has something for both art enthusiasts and mystery-lovers with her seventh novel, which spotlights the transformative early years of American abstract expressionism while telling a gripping story of two unforgettable women. Shapiro entwines historical with fictional figures, charting the 1940s New York art scene and a woman’s mysterious disappearance, while also narrating the contemporary story of the missing woman’s great niece, who discovers the art that may at last resolve the mystery.
