This month, ArtBook Club will meet on Monday April 13th from 7 - 8:30pm to discuss a two-page essay by Anne Lamott and 25 minutes of a comedy set by Josh Johnson.

April Reading List:

• Shitty First Drafts:

  Anne Lamott’s short essay comically describes her process for getting through the challenge of starting a new writing project.

• The beginning to the 25 minute mark of Josh Johnson’s video Trump, Timothée & Kristi: A Legendary Week of L’s:

  Josh Johnson discusses Timothée Chalamet’s controversial statements about opera and the phenomenal success of Ryan Coogler’s film, Sinners, to make larger points about the intersection of commerce and creativity, and the ways we measure artistic success. (Note: we’ll only be discussing the first 25 minutes of this video)
