If you use '-' in front of a word, then that word will be absent in the search results.
ex: Harry -Potter will return results without the word 'Potter'.
If you use 'AND' between two words, then both of those words will be present in the search results.
ex: Harry AND Potter will return results with both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
If you use 'OR' between two words, then bth of those words may or may not be present in the search results.
ex: Harry OR Potter will return results with just 'Harry', results with just 'Potter' and results with both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
If you use 'NOT' before a word, then that word will be absent in the search results.

Using '*' in a word will perform a wildcard search. The '*' signifies any number of characters. Searches can not start with a wildcard.
ex: Pot*er will return results with words starting with 'Pot' and ending in 'er'. In this case, 'Potter' will be a match.
The Museum of Modern Love is much less about love than the title might suggest. The art world in which this story is set, and the history that it builds can seem overwhelming in concept, but Heather Rose does an incredible job of expressing the intent of the art, and the emotion of it, echoing the experience of the way art can move you, sometimes inexplicably. While this book is fiction, it uses some public figures to weave its tale, most prolific is of course Marina Abramovic. Her simple piece The Artist is Present, where she sits silently across from a single member of the public and holds their gaze, reflects the mood of the book as each character opens themselves up to the reader and tells their tale, asking for nothing in return, and especially asking for no judgement. As a reader we are expected only to feel and maybe understand, while the author reminds us that every life has moments of turmoil and there will always be more than we can possibly know to other people’s lives.
