| Degas' After the Bath c 1883 |
Dear Bookclub,
"B. A. Shapiro invents a fifth version of Degas' "After the Bath" in the book "The Art Forger" which focuses on the Boston art world and the 1990 theft of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum". The title of an entry in the ARCA blog, Association for Research into Crimes Against Art; our bookclub surely opens our minds to many new thoughts and ideas and blogs that we never imagined:

Layered with art-world community, painting techniques, melodramatic plot, true crime, Degas sensitivity, Shapiro's novel, no forgery of fine literature, is still enjoyable and will long be remembered.

Happy reading,
