I thought there would be a lot more art forgery in this, but instead it focuses a lot on surrealism in a way that I found really tough to follow.

Estaba muy entusiasmada de leer este libro y me costó. Tiene muchísimas voces narrativas y es aveces difícil seguirles el paso. En algunos fragmentos se vuelve tan pausado que sentí que coartaba la lectura. Pero disfruté muchísimo la sátira descripción del mundo del arte y sus contradicciones ridículas e hilarantes. Me encantó el sentido del humor de la narradora.
Y me encantó el personaje principal y la cacería preciosa que emprende en búsqueda de lo que dese. De lo que le contaron que desea.
