What’s a book you’ve read that makes great dinner-party conversation? Hit me with the Dadaist art history that made you get into sculpture, the magpie biography whose eccentric subject runs laps around Edies Big and Little, the lightly Christian true-crime where the cult did THAT thing. Weird histories? Shocking industries? Nervy tell-alls with great guts and/or gossip? I want them all!
