I've said it before and I'll say it again, Kathryn Harrison is an incredible writer.
This book is one of the more disturbing bits I've read by her -- it really makes you think 'what is art?' throughout the book. Still, Ann's story (both past and present) is compelling and I was hard-pressed to put this book down. My only complaint is the ending - it just sort of fizzled out and wrapped up too neatly. I wanted someting more.

And it got me hooked. She is an excellent storyteller, even when her stories are hard to bear.
Very interesting
