Negative Positive
Title: Extraordinary, awakening novel.
Review: I enjoyed this novel more than any other recently, not simply because it has a moving story (which it does) but because it made me think. I felt like I was transported into an artist's mind, able to see with an artist's eye and it was an incredible experience. The fact that the artist is a smart, funny, critical, feminist woman made all the difference. I learned so much simply from "listening in" on her self-analysis. And Gordon's descriptions of works of art were luxerious, more sensual than the sex scenes.
