Spark : How Creativity Works
Spark is an Official Selection of the TED Book Club!
March 12: Spark is on the WSJ Psychology Bestseller list.
Here's what Vanity Fair has to say about Spark:
"The act of creating art is eternally shrouded in mystery. For 10 years public radio's Studio 360 show, created and produced by Julie Burstein and hosted by culture-quaking journalist-novelist Kurt Andersen, has revealed the unique sources from which the artist's creativity flows while pinpointing the hot spot 'where art and real life collide.' In Spark (Harper), Burstein, with a foreword by Andersen, offers enlightening answers from the culture's heavy hitters, including Chuck Close, Yo-Yo Ma, and Richard Ford, on which experiences, memories, tragedies, or landscapes ignited their imaginations, as well as the process by which they stoked these embers into a roaring fire, and how you, yes, you, might too."
“Through enlightening conversations, these creative individuals demonstrate how they lift raw materials out of familiar contexts and create art that changes how we perceive the world.” (Publishers Weekly)
