Description

The essayist and cultural commentator Ilan Stavans and the analytic philosopher Jorge J.

E. Gracia share long-standing interests in the intersection of art and ideas.

Here they take thirteen pieces of Latino art, each reproduced in color, as occasions for thematic discussions.

Whether the work at the center of a particular conversation is a triptych created by the brothers Einar and Jamex de la Torre, Andres Serrano's controversial Piss Christ, a mural by the graffiti artist BEAR_TCK, or Above All Things, a photograph by Maria Magdalena Campos-Pons, Stavans and Gracia's exchanges inevitably open out to literature, history, ethics, politics, religion, and visual culture more broadly.

Autobiographical details pepper Stavans and Gracia's conversations, as one or the other tells what he finds meaningful in a given work.

Sparkling with insight, their exchanges allow the reader to eavesdrop on two celebrated intellectuals-worldly, erudite, and unafraid to disagree-as they reflect on the pleasures of seeing.
