Realmente me encantó. Si bien esperaba algo más tradicionalmente novelizado, la forma de narrar y las voces de María Gaínza me atraparon completamente y disfruté muchísimo su novelización de personajes del arte (incluyendo las googleadas de por medio). 
Si prosa es poética y evocativa, sin caer en giros demasiado rebuscados, para un libro cuya narradora principal se autodefine como snob reiteradas veces, lo encontré muy accesible (o tal vez yo soy tan snob como ella)

A collection of short fiction written as essays that interleaf the narrator’s life rents with her relationship to fine art. Excellent to read while looking at the artworks, and even learned a few myself.
