He soon meets a girl, Olympia Argyros, one year older, who is captivating and brilliant and far more worldly. Recognizing his talent, she convinces him to deface, with profound vulgarity, a popular playground. Under her direction, he does it willingly, already in love, and thus begins a sixty-five-year entwining between Cricket and Olympia, encompassing friendship, working partnership and love affair. Together they go to art school—an experience of dubious value—and then navigate the art world for the next fifty years, together and apart.Contrapposto is a moving and very funny novel about allies and art, and what it means to be an artist. All through their lives, Cricket sees Olympia as his soulmate and destiny, and while she is always his champion, romantically her eyes are always seeking something—and someone—else. Their love changes over the decades, but their commitment to each other, and their search for meaning in the making of art, never wanes. The novel spans the globe, from New York to Thailand, Indiana to Paris, and follows Cricket and Olympia through sickness and health, war and death.The novel is a wild and beautiful examination of the rules and market forces of the art world, but chiefly it’s about two friends who believe they can change that world, and bring new meaning to it, if only they can start their own movement, dodge charlatans, remain open-eyed and open-hearted, avoid going mad, avoid dying young of rare cancers, stay true to their ideals, and never tire of beauty. Not easy, but not impossible, either. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/huntington-beach/dave-eggers-celebrates-contrapposto-at-barnes-and-noble-huntington-beach/100001983655092781 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, sports, health-wellness - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 38.19, max: 38.19, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Huntington Beach - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: Barnes & Noble - Huntington Beach - **lat**: 33.7321058 - **long**: -117.9916672 - **full address**: Barnes & Noble - Huntington Beach, 7881 Edinger Avenue, Huntington Beach, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Dave Eggers celebrates CONTRAPPOSTO at Barnes & Noble - Huntington Beach - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/7652201b10c0775f62425a65180ef43de193d36b83d5d5ee4551444d9b9f08e4-rimg-w1200-h667-dcfef8ee-gmir.jpg?v=1776387241 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Dave Eggers celebrates CONTRAPPOSTO at Barnes & Noble - Huntington Beach being held? - **A:** Dave Eggers celebrates CONTRAPPOSTO at Barnes & Noble - Huntington Beach takes place on Fri, 19 Jun, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Fri, 19 Jun, 2026 at 07:00 pm at Barnes & Noble - Huntington Beach, 7881 Edinger Avenue, Huntington Beach, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Dave Eggers celebrates CONTRAPPOSTO at Barnes & Noble - Huntington Beach? - **A:** Tickets for Dave Eggers celebrates CONTRAPPOSTO at Barnes & Noble - Huntington Beach are priced at USD 38 per person.
