I love Siri Hustvedt's books, but I think this one was a little too clever for me. Set in the New York art world, it is the story of Harriet Burden, an artist who exhibits her work behind three male masks to expose the inequalities of fame and attention.
There are so many obscure, to me, references - art, philosophy, history - and yet, I was caught up in the world of bizarre characters and art works, and found Harry's fierce struggle for recognition, power and love compelling and touching.
