Pop Song: Adventures in Art & Intimacy by Larissa Pham

4.0

Loved the essays toward the beginning -- On Running, Crush, Camera Roll (Notes on Longing) -- but the momentum peters out from middle to ending, I think because the interjections about "you" get more frequent, and the more that's revealed about the narrator's relationship to this person, the less interesting it becomes. The visual art criticism alone, without the ongoing tension of this object of desire, might not be strong enough to hold my attention.
