Description
Sirens & Muses A Novel by Antonia Angress is a gripping and provocative debut that explores the complexities of art, desire, and identity. Against the backdrop of a recession and social upheaval, four artists navigate the cutthroat world of elite art school and the streets of New York, where their passions and fears are put to the test. As Louisa Arceneaux transfers to Wrynn College of Art, she finds herself drawn into a world that prizes novelty over beauty, and must confront her own desires and sense of belonging. Her complicated relationship with charismatic roommate Karina Piontek forces her to confront the deepest aspects of herself, while Karina's fascination with Preston Utley, a senior and anti-capitalist provocateur, sets off a chain of events that upends their lives. With its prismatic color and light, this deeply relatable and profoundly enjoyable read is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the intersection of art, identity, and desire.
