Meet Me at the Met

Eric G. Müllers classy title Meet Me at the Met invites readers to follow a rich tale of romance idealism scandal and emerging self knowledge. The novel has a double story-the living of a life and the process of writing that life-both tales narrated by a high-minded vain passionate confessional man who is determined to write it all until he can understand it. He delights in the arts teaches at a school near New York Citys beloved Metropolitan Museum and reveres the treasures there. Each time he wants to recall and record an episode from his life he goes to the Met and chooses from among its famous galleries a different office to write in. Having grown up near the Met myself I particularly enjoyed the passages where various parts of the museums immense collection are precisely and appreciatively described. In this absorbing fiction about inspiration personal growth and the capacity for mature awareness Müller has woven an enticing tapestry of pleasure pain aspiration and love.
