Dark Side of Creativity with Bioy Casares' "The Invention of Morel"

As a an art writer and curator, Joana P. R. Neves, the host, steps back from her job, and steps into the questions it stimulates, about art and life, creativity and philosophy. And what better tools to explore the point were art intersects with life than books?


In this episode, Joana presents and reads excerpts of this week's chosen book, The Invention of Morel (1940) by Adolfo Bioy Casares, and asks "is there a dark side to creativity?"
