Not necessarily the art itself, but the lifestyle of the artists. The art, which is a big part of the story, is the part that interested me the most. Their frustrations shape the novel as well as their art. Bibi and Tess are a very sexually frustrated couple as their relationship is quite rocky. Even their sycophants reminded me of Maude’s groupies. The two main characters, Bibi and Tess, remind me of Julianne Moore’s interruption of Carolee Schneemann with her character of Maude in The Big Lebowski. While I think the style was perfectly fitting for the substance that was provided, I would have liked a little bit more from it. I tend to agree with publisher’s weekly in that this was an exercise in style over substance. It felt like a story wrapped around a lot of incomplete sentences that only exist to modify the narrative. I liked the haptic analogous comparisons for descriptions that are peppered throughout each paragraph. The style is like something I have never come across and it takes a bit to get used to. The story reads like someone who has ADHD took drugs and wrote it.
