Pop Song: Adventures in Art and Intimacy

"Writer Larissa Pham originally trained as a painter, so it’s fitting that, for her memoir-in-essays, she explores desire through the lens of art. In Pop Song’s delicate prose, she makes deft connections between the art she loves – from Georgia O’Keeffe’s paintings to Nan Goldin’s photography to Frank Ocean’s lyrics to Sylvia Plath’s verse – and her experiences of heartache and connection. The result is a book as personal, generous and touching as a mixtape passed between lovers."
