Lacey Yeager is young, captivating, and ambitious enough to take the NYC art world by storm. Groomed at Sotheby's and hungry to keep climbing the social and career ladders put before her, Lacey charms men and women, old and young, rich and even richer with her magnetic charisma and liveliness. Her ascension to the highest tiers of the city parallel the soaring heights--and, at times, the dark lows--of the art world and the country from the late 1990s through today.

"Oh please, no! Have you ever heard an artist talk about their art? It's Chinese! What they describe in their work is absolutely not there. And it's guaranteed that what you think is their worst picture, they think is their best picture." (查看原文)

2012.8.11 近几年读过的最好看的书。It's funny, witty, and a page turner. 可能有人觉得中个故事各种lacking, 我却觉得各种真实。大概因为我并不是艺术界中人，所以距离产生了美。唯一不太喜欢的是911那段。

一个对当代艺术界大写的讽刺，但对于其中的个人行为，作者显然没打算去做太多道德评判，因为艺术本身没有错，荒谬的是炒作艺术和有预谋的金钱游戏。女主Lacey是一个anti-hero，但正因为她的野心、自私和不羁，才使整个故事变得有趣起来。
