OverviewWhat happens when beauty intersects with horror? In her newest nonfiction collection, Jehanne Dubrow interrogates the ethical questions that arise when we aestheticize atrocity. The daughter of US diplomats, she weaves memories of growing up overseas among narratives centered on art objects created while working under oppressive regimes. Ultimately Exhibitions is a collection concerned with how art both evinces and elicits emotion and memory and how, through the making and viewing of art, we are--for better or for worse--changed.

It's the best of all worlds in an essay collection, and one I will return to again and again.""—Randon Billings Noble, author of Be with Me Always: Essays ""These ekphrastic essays do more than extoll beauty or privilege erudition.

In tautly interlinking essays, Dubrow describes what is unseen, overlooked, or dismissed, and she refuses to look away.""—Spring Ulmer, author of Bestiality of the Involved ""Told in precise and dreamy detail, Exhibitions portrays truths--the vivid memory, the unexpected detail, the unforgettable word--with the clarity of glass before it breaks.""—Alexander Nemerov, author of Fierce Poise: Helen Frankenthaler and 1950s New York" "Exhibitions is a fantastic book--both smart and inviting, intimate and outward-looking, creative and critical.
