A review by sandraisbooked
L'Œuvre by Émile Zola
4.0
This book really resonated with me.
The mania. The frustrations. The art.
Sure; they are some long and tedious parts.
But I liked it. I actually sympathize with all of the characters, sure, sometimes they're rude and cocky and self-absorbed but at the end they were all striving and starving artists; sculptors, painters, writers, etc.
Maybe it's because I self-identity that I can pass less of a judgment on them than non-artisticly oriented people?
Overall, a fascinating read on striving surrealist artists.
