 Rest".
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Sunday October 18th at 3:00 pm for a Celebration o
 f Life and Art with Diane Leslie's The Critic at Rest. We'll be joined b
 y actors celebrating Diane's work with readings from this hugely enterta
 ining ironic novel celebrating the 1960s Los Angeles art scene. Refreshm
 ents served! This event is free to attend and will be held in the courty
 ard at DIESEL\, A Bookstore in Brentwood. Free seating is limited. To re
 serve a seat\, please purchase one copy of a book for one seat. Diane Le
 slie Event Reservation When an art critic descends on a local high schoo
 l art show\, two teen girls' lives are about to change. Told from the po
 int of view of Beth Lindley\, this astutely comic novel charts the outla
 ndish eccentricities of art critic Neil Barris and his influence on the 
 lives of Beth and her best friend and budding artist\, Quincy California
 \, as they come of age in the '60s L.A. art scene and beyond. An irresis
 tible juxtapose of professorial charm\, profound self-obsession\, genuin
 e belief in young Quincy's career potential (amid ongoing efforts to get
  her into bed and impose himself into her personal life) and spectacular
 ly unhinged behavior\, Neil Barris is the enthralling\, confounding muse
  of The Critic at Rest. Diane Leslie was born in Hollywood and by age ni
 neteen was working as a television researcher and story analyst. After s
 ailing halfway around the world\, she married a sailboat rigger. Home in
  Los Angeles once again\, she began writing fiction while raising two so
 ns. For thirty years she hosted author readings and led book groups at D
 iesel and Dutton's Brentwood Bookstores. She is the author of Fleur de L
 eigh's Life of Crime and Fleur de Leigh in Exile. This brilliant novel i
 s being published posthumously.\n\nTickets: https://dieselbookstore.com/
