What I Loved

In 1975 art historian Leo Hertzberg discovers an extraordinary painting by an unknown artist in a New York gallery. He buys the work and tracks down its creator, Bill Weschler, and the two men embark on a lifelong friendship.

This is the story of their intense and troubled relationship, of the women in their lives and their work, of art and hysteria, love and seduction and their sons - born the same year but whose lives take very different paths.

Predictable story, annoying narration

If this hadn’t been on our book club list, I’d have never finished it. The writing is mediocre and repetitious, the characters aren’t believable, the plot is predictable, and the narrator tries to make everything. so. dramatic. Fatigant!
