Portrait of a Thief
by Grace D. Li
Portrait of a Thief is on its surface a heist book, but it’s more an exploration of Chinese-American identity and a critical look at how even today the spoils belong to the victors. Art is in the process of being returned to the rightful owners in the case of Nazi theft, for example, but many more stolen treasures from many countries/cultures are still sitting in museums and personal collections.
Readers looking for just a fun, fast, riveting heist book will be disappointed, but those looking for this mix of heist and examination of culture, history and ethnicity should find it really good.
