The Earliest Bookstores I Remember // Picasso's "Guernica"
An episode from 3/2/22: At a listener\u2019s request, the first part of this episode is devoted to the earliest bookstores I remember, from childhood through adolescence. The Friday night in high school that I spent, buying a copy of Ralph Ellison\u2019s Invisible Man, remains an especially formative experience.
\nThe second part of this episode takes up the creation and immediate fame of Pablo Picasso\u2019s Guernica. The books I read from are Simon Schama's \u2060The Power of Art\u2060 and John Richardson's \u2060Life of Picasso, Volume 4: The Minotaur Years\u2060.
