Review by Francis (280606) Rating (8/10) Review
by Francis This is where a lot of the humour derives from, with the narrator breaking in to demolish some of the pretensions of the protagonist, and undermine his breathtaking arrogance. We follow his relationship with the tempestuous Jelena and rebound to the stable but less exciting Harriet. His relationships, and misadventures with women are the heart of the book, and the humour turns to melancholy, which by the end is quite moving.
All this is set in the contemporary art world, not a field I am
an expert judge of, but the cynical expose nevertheless seems
accurate and amusing. I picked up this book on the table of a
big bookshop, and liking the cover and blurb, bought it. There
not being many reviews of it I have read, I would like people
to know more about this funny and touching book. |
