Great review! I’m still stuck about halfway through this book. I’m both super impressed by the complexity and intimidated by the intellectualism. I’m having trouble gaining momentum, but your review encourages me to keep going!

In reply to Katie @ Words for Worms. Very unusual, Katie. I think it may be a love/hate novel for readers.

So glad to hear this one was as good as expected, I’ve been really looking forward to it. I can’t seem to resist a good book circling around art lately!

“I wanted to fly, you see, and breathe fire. Those were my dearest wishes, but it was forbidden, or I felt it was forbidden. It has taken me a very long time to give myself permission to fly and to breathe fire.”

That quote got to me. I’m adding this to my TBR list.

I think i need to read this. Now. I have never read anything by Hustvedt, but i’ve always heard good things. And i might be up for a more challenging read.
