And a soon-to-be major motion picture from James Franco! \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCaleb Powell always wanted to become an artist, but he overcommitted to life (he's a stay-at-home dad to three young girls), whereas his former professor David Shields always wanted to become a human being, but he has overcommitted to art. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShields and Powell spend four days together in a cabin in the Cascade Mountains, playing chess, shooting hoops, hiking to lakes and an abandoned mine; they rewatch \u003ci\u003eMy Dinner with Andramp;eacute;\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSideways\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Trip\u003c\/i\u003e, relax in a hot tub, and talk about everything they can think of in the name of exploring and debating their central question: life and\/or art. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe relationship-- and the balance of power-- between Shields and Powell is in constant flux, as two egos try to undermine each other, two personalities overlap and collapse. This book seeks to demolish the Qamp;A format; it also seeks to confound, as much as possible, the divisions between \" reality\"  and \" fiction,\"  between \" life\"  and \" art.\"  There are no teachers or students, no interviewers or interviewees, no masters in the universe, only a chasm of uncertainty.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Recorded Books, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47097937953008,"sku":"2940169302875","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169302875_p0.jpg?v=1763679098","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169302875","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
