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.
