Steve Martin: An Object of Beauty

E' l'ultimo romanzo (Grand Central Publishing) dell'attore diventato scrittore, ed è ambientato nel mondo del collezionismo d'arte newyorchese (Martin stesso è un grande e appassionato collezionista) negli anni Novanta. "Martin is remarkably even-handed in his depiction of the art world, describing its leaps and plunges, how taste and culture and money affect it, as if he were writing about physics: 'Just as gravity distorts space, an important collector distorts aesthetics. The difference is that gravity distorts space eternally, and a collector distorts space for only a few years." Susan Salter Reynolds sul lat.
