The essence of art is to conceal art. A dancer or musician does not only need to perform with ability. There should also be a lack of visible effort that gives an impression of naturalness. To disguise technique and feign ease is to heighten beauty. To express this notion, Italian has a word with no exact equivalent in other languages, sprezzatura: a kind of unaffectedness or nonchalance.In this book, the first to consider sprezzatura in its own right, philosopher of art Paolo D’Angelo reconstructs the history of concealing art, from ancient rhetoric to our own times. The word sprezzatura was coined in 1528 by Baldassarre Castiglione in The Book of the Courtier to mean a kind of grace with a special essence: the ability to conceal art. But the idea reaches back to Aristotle and Cicero and forward to avant-garde works such as Duchamp’s ready-mades, all of which share the suspicion of the overt display of skill. The precept that art must be hidden turns up in a number of fields, from cosmetics to interior design, politics to poetry, the English garden to shabby chic. Through exploring different articulations of this idea, D’Angelo shows the paradox of aesthetics: art hides that it is art, but in doing so it reveals itself to be art and becomes an assertion about art. When art is concealed, it appears as spontaneous as nature—yet, paradoxically, also reveals its indebtedness to technique. An erudite and surprising tour through aesthetics, philosophy, and art history, Sprezzatura presents a strikingly original argument with deceptive ease.

Paul D'Angelo is a former Boston-area assistant district attorney and criminal-defense trial attorney who, at the same time, became one of the nation's top stand-up comedians. In the follow-up to his critically acclaimed literary debut, 'Stories I Tell: A Comic's Random Attempts to Make Some Sense Out of Nonsense, ' which was a Gold Medal winner of the 2015 eLit Awards, a finalist in the 2015 International Book Awards, and voted 'Best Comedy Book of 2016' by the Best of L.A. Awards, Paul presents 'More Stories to Tell: A Lawyer Turned Comedian Puts Everyday Life on Trial.' This second book adds to the eclectic assortment of hilarious personal stories, dialogues, and comedy routines that Paul seldom, if ever, gets a chance to present on stage. D'Angelo deftly blends fact, fiction, exaggeration, and imagination to sarcastically critique modern society, relate humorous stories from his days working as both a lawyer and a comic, recount awkward moments from his upbringing and personal relationships, and intelligently vent on various social issues that drive us all crazy. Paul tackles subjects as diverse as imagining life growing-up as a prehistoric caveman; recommending the need to issue inspection stickers for people; getting jealous over a dead man; sympathizing with pragmatic Kamikaze pilots; teaching a young son about the facts of life with the help of a video game; re-calling a rather uncomfortable airplane flight after vacationing in Mexico; and calling himself on the phone to ask for money, in a quick paced, engaging manner that everyone can connect with. The book also features sidesplitting excerpts from his L.A. Mis rables series of diaries that Paul wrote while trying to break into the entertainment business in Hollywood. 'More Stories to Tell' won a Gold Medal in the 2016 eLit Awards. It was also given a four-star rating by Clarion Reviews which noted, "The book evinces a keen mind at work" and includes "many laugh out loud moments." They called the book a "worthy sequel to Paul D'Angelo's first book and is every bit its equal in humor and intelligence."
