Krátky popis
'Rollicking, melodic, tender and true. And oh so very wise' Robert
Jones, Jr., author of The Prophets Who gets to leave a legacy?
1985. Anita de Monte, a rising star in the art world, is found dead
in New York City, her tragic death is the talk of the town. Until
it isn't. By 1998 Anita's name has been all but forgotten -
certainly by the time Raquel, a third-year art history student is
preparing her final thesis. On College Hill, surrounded by progeny
of film producers, C-Suite executives, and international
art-dealers, most of whom float through life knowing that their
futures are secured, Raquel feels herself an outsider. Students of
colour, like Raquel, are the minority there, and the pressure to
work twice as hard for the same opportunities is no secret. But
when Raquel becomes romantically involved with a well-connected
older art student, she finds herself unexpectedly rising up the
social ranks. As she attempts to straddle both worlds, she stumbles
upon Anita's story, raising questions about the dynamics of her own
relationship, which eerily mirrors that of the forgotten artist.
Moving back and forth through time and told from the perspectives
of both women, Anita de Monte Laughs Last is a propulsive, witty
examination of power, love and art, daring to ask who gets to be
remembered and who is left behind in the rarefied world of the
elite. Praise for Xochitl Gonzalez and Olga Dies Dreaming 'Don't
underestimate this new novelist. She's jump-starting the year with
a smart romantic comedy that lures us in with laughter and keeps us
hooked with a fantastically engaging story' Washington Post 'The
sharpest and best written social comedy in a while' Los Angeles
Times 'An astounding new voice' Esquire
