“Would you like to see my etchings?” Picasso at the Met, Manila
Picasso, Blind Minotaur Led by a Girl through the Night, Vollard Suite
Pablo Picasso created 100 copper etchings between September 1930 and March 1937. These pieces commissioned by the art dealer and editor Ambroise Vollard have come to be known as the Suite Vollard.
In 1938, the set of 100 prints appeared in two different formats, one large and one small. Today the small-format prints are scattered among different private and public collections, and only some of these sets, such as the Fundacion Mapfre’s, are preserved in their entirety.
The Suite Vollard is coming to Manila.
The Metropolitan Museum of Manila will host Pablo Picasso’s famous etchings from 10 November 2011 to 8 January 2012.
The Met is located at the Banko Sentral ng Pilipinas Complex, Roxas Boulevard, Manila. For more details please call 5211517 or visit their website at www.metmuseum.ph.

You can skip it, the writing is clunky. It is screaming for an editor.

Hahaha! Bought it! For the sake of Middlesex and The Virgin Suicides!!!!! I even read the first chapter at Amazon.com! Besides, our dear Mr Eugenides has got to earn a living….

Ah! Already bought it yesterday.
But the Picasso is very timely. I’d have other things to do besides attend the meet and greet with you and then go to the National Library. Thank you.

Could be laziness or the desire to be “relatable”. Sloppiness is distressing in authors one had admired. In this case it is also daft. Who would read a novel about lit majors if not lit majors?

Chismis: It’s been speculated that one of the characters in the love triangle (large, brilliant, depressive, wears bandana) is based on David Foster Wallace and the other one (of Greek descent, from Michigan, worked with Mother Teresa) on Eugenides himself.

“Mitchell loved Madeleine, who loved Leonard Bankhead, who loved marking notches on his dick.” My question now Miss Zafra is, do you think our dearest friend Mr. Eugenides has Penisneid ( Dr. Fried coined this word)? ROFLOL
