“[A] compact, original book . . . the Marbles will always be one of history’s singular Rorschach tests. Keats saw beauty; Byron saw tragedy; in FRIEZE FRAME, readers may see some version of themselves.” @wsj.com on FRIEZE FRAME by @aestallings.bsky.social www.wsj.com/arts-culture...

"Highly entertaining. . .The anecdotal style of FRIEZE FRAME works wonderfully for a story driven by a few characters and their mad antics."—@thespectator1828.bsky.social on @aestallings.bsky.social‬ new book, a gossipy history of the Parthenon Marbles www.spectator.co.uk/article/its-...

"Frieze Frame is a lucidly brilliant, learned read that wears its learning lightly, inviting the reader into a coterie of artists and intellectuals, traced and uncovered with a poet's touch."--Times Literary Supplement on FRIEZE FRAME by A. E. Stallings www.the-tls.co.uk/classics/fri...

Poetic justice for the Parthenon Marbles? In her new book, ‘Frieze Frame’, A.E. Stallings captures the intense excitement the marbles caused in artistic circles when they arrived in London – and the sense of loss felt by Greek writers of the 19th and 20th centuries

Thank you @foreignpolicy.com for this very thoughtful review of THE ANACONDA IN THE CHANDELIER.
