More About Next to Nature, Art
It was fun but also a bit desperate. Quirky moments but essentially a semi-comedy of manners. Read it first on 1/17/12, gave it 3 stars.Re-read 3/15/16, gave it 5 stars. Much like Moon Tiger, I thought it was ok, but not great. If you like to pontificate/philosophize about art then give it a try. But even then it kind of falls flat.
