review:
I'm torn between admiring the amount of research Carey had to absorb in order to write this book and being a little put off by it. But what I loved were the two narrative voices. The "hero," a contemporary artist, is rude and bold and passionate and very masculine. His brother, who has some sort of developmental delay, is equally enthralling and perceptive in his way. Carey really pulled off quite a feat with these two voices; it made me pick it the novel even when I was exhausted and didn't care so much about the art scandal plot.
