Costalegre: A Novel Inspired by Peggy Guggenheim and Her Daughter by Courtney Maum

This rating really isn’t representative of what I think of Courtney Maum’s writing abilities. A diary is a tricky form to pull off for an entire novel. I find it very self-conscious so I’m never able to forget that I’m reading a fictional narrative and that can really drive me crazy. It’s a lot like watching a puppet show where the puppeteer is completely visible.
