Cleopatra's Nose: 39 Varieties of Desire by Judith Thurman
2.0
2.5
I feel inclined to leave it on 2 stars, but I might consider to raise it to 3 stars later.
Anyway, I really enjoyed the first part of the book, it was shocking and interesting and all so well tied. Also I didn't knew the subjects of the essays, neither I had ever taked fashion in such a serious way, nor so carefully relate it to the artist's life.
BUT it all faded away by half the book or so. I don't really know why, because the writing is the same and I can't honestly say that topics were less interesting, so maybe I just got tired of the author.
