Coulson herself spent 25 years writing for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, during which she dreamt of using the Met’s strict label format to capture people as works of art. If that doesn’t sell you, Maira Kalman herself is a fan of the book. “I read it in one fell swoop,” Kalman says.

A sharp, scathing satire of the monstrousness of the contemporary art world... Baxter has an acerbic pen, aided by an ear for dialect--she wields both internet- and therapy-speak, not to mention the willfully opaque language of the art world, to great effect in skewering her target.

Behind In Defense of Love is a stubbornly single-minded impulse to accept love’s power, as well as a certain piety (the word numinous appears a dozen times in the book).
