Set in Beverly Hills during the financially unstable 1980s, The Centerpiece is told from the perspective of a prominent business manager, Robert Berlin, who provides sophisticated financial services to celebrities. The Centerpiece follows the private lives and the finances of entertainment industry personalities, as well as their relationships, and their vulnerability to financial predators. Two of Berlin's clients, Latin heartthrob Hugo Beltran and his vivacious and sexy actress wife, the Hungarian Bombshell Veronica Vavra, have become involved with the reputed genius Dr. Mark Draper. Draper's background is steeped in intrigue, including Delta Force service, CIA involvement, arms sales, and pharmaceutical development. Berlin learns his clients have loaned Draper a substantial amount of money against the collateral of cash held in safe deposit boxes. Despite Berlin's concerns, his clients become more entangled with Draper over the years. Yet more money is advanced by Beltran to finance Draper's pharmaceutical company. A partnership is then formed to import diamonds from Russia. But the complexity of Draper's ventures increases Berlin's anxiety. When Hugo Beltran develops cancer, the safe deposit boxes are opened and found to contain no cash. A huge fraud has been perpetrated on Berlin's clients. Meanwhile, as the diamond business flourishes, Draper is murdered. Berlin is faced with some difficult decisions.

Current philosophies of art remain sadly dominated by visions of its end and lamentations of decline. Defining the very notions of art and the aesthetic as special products of Western modernity, they suggest that postmodern challenges to traditional high culture pose a devastating danger to art's future. Richard Shusterman's new book cuts through the seductive confusions of these views by tracing the earthy roots of aesthetic experience and showing how the recent flourishing of aesthetic forms outside modernity's sacralized realm of fine art evince the persistent presence of an artistic impulse far deeper and more durable than the modernist moment. Performing Live defends the abiding power of aesthetic experience by exploring its diverse roles, methods, and meanings, especially in fields marginal to traditional aesthetics but now most vibrantly alive in today's culture and new media. Ranging from rap, techno, and country music to cinema, cyberspace and urban design, Shusterman develops his radical theory of "somaesthetics," charting the complex network of bodily arts so prominent in contemporary life and self-styling. By blending concrete aesthetic analysis with insightful social critique, Shusterman, a well-known pragmatist philosopher, provides a rich menu and critical guide for today's pursuit of the art of living.
