Aladdin & Co‪.‬

At a national convention in Chicago, young delegate Albert Barslow can’t bear another speech: he has just fallen in love, and politics has lost to Alice. He escapes to an art gallery, where a pair of strangers catch his attention.

In the clamor of party banners and brass bands, Albert—a rising political hand from an Indiana farming county—has every reason to be absorbed in the convention. But love has made its proceedings seem hollow, and in the gallery he watches a young artist and a confident man talk about art, freedom, and how he might help her. Their glances and silences stir the newly initiated lover’s curiosity, though he thinks he knows the language of the heart. What is passing between them—and will Albert understand it?
