Description

A TIME worthwhile read FOR 2024 Reese Witherspoon's Book Club Pick for March 2024. In this genre-busting novel, Xochitl Gonzalez explores the complexities of power, love and art through the intertwined stories of two women. Anita de Monte, a rising star in the art world, is found dead in New York City, only to have her name all but forgotten by 1998. Raquel, a third-year art history student, stumbles upon Anita's story while navigating her own relationship with an older, well-connected art student. As Raquel delves deeper into Anita's life, she raises questions about who gets to be remembered and who is left behind in the rarefied world of the elite. With its propulsive and witty narrative, this book daringly asks these questions, moving seamlessly between past and present told from both women's perspectives. A thought-provoking examination of identity, class and legacy, Anita de Monte Laughs Last is a compelling read for anyone interested in art, love and the human experience.
