What the f*ck even is art?
I'll be very honest, the writing was a little too meandering for me, reminding me of Jon Fosse's "A Shining," (derogatory). However, if you look past that and see the underlying themes, this book is fantastic.
As an art history major in school, this was a wonderful look into the absurd, sometimes comical, world of art criticism. Mark Haber touches on themes of mortality, art, friendship, and makes you consider what you see when you look at a piece of art. I personally enjoyed the deep lore of this book; I was honestly convinced some of these characters existed. Overall, a pretty amazing short read that is engaging and thought-provoking.
