Part for the Hole - Paperback

by Peter Gould (Author)

In an unknown U.S. city, a high school English teacher reads a strange newspaper article late at night. It's about a Mexican artist/activist who is kidnapped off the streets, brought blindfolded to a "run-of-the-mill building," and forced to paint portraits of a wealthy woman posing in the nude-while looking at her only through a hole in a wall! This news article inspires the teacher to consider what art is, how it is inspired, and how it must be supported. The article also inspires the teacher to commit a copycat crime, with the goal of rescuing the National Endowment for the Arts. PART FOR THE HOLE asks the question "Could this really be done?" It answers the question, too.
