Xochitl Gonzalez delivers a powerful novel about art, race, class, and feminism with her latest book, Anita de Monte Laughs Last. In the 1980s, Anita de Monte is making a name for herself in the art world when she falls for the famous sculptor, Jack Martin, and slowly begins to lose herself. 15 years later, Raquel is studying art history at Brown and writing her thesis about Martin when she begins to see there might be another story there. Gonzalez goes back and forth between the two eras and the two Latina women’s voices as they struggle with similar challenges. Readers who enjoy strong female characters and don’t mind a hint of magical realism will definitely want to read this imaginative spin on the New York art world and who gets the power. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
"Who gets to leave a legacy? 1985. Anita de Monte, a rising star in the art world, is found dead in New York City; her tragic death is the talk of the town. Until it isn't. By 1998 Anita's name has been all but forgotten - certainly by the time Raquel, a third-year art history student is preparing her final thesis. On College Hill, surrounded by progeny of film producers, C-Suite executives, and international art-dealers, most of whom float through life knowing that their futures are secured, Raquel feels herself an outsider. Students of color, like Raquel, are the minority there, and the pressure to work twice as hard for the same opportunities is no secret. But when Raquel becomes romantically involved with a well-connected older art student, she finds herself unexpectedly rising up the social ranks. As she attempts to straddle both worlds, she stumbles upon Anita's story, raising questions about the dynamics of her own relationship, which eerily mirrors that of the forgotten artist. Moving back and forth through time and told from the perspectives of both women, Anita de Monte Laughs Last, is a propulsive, witty examination of power, love, and art, daring to ask who gets to be remembered and who is left behind in the rarefied world of the elite"-- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
