Sigues a cuatro personas en el contexto de una universidad arística de renombre: louisa (una chica de familia obrera que va becada y con préstamos hasta las cejas), karina (una chica de padres pijísimos coleccionadores de arte), preston (un heterazo horrible pero que está contado de una manera súper realista y con tantos detalles que odiaba y amaba a la vez sus partes) y robert (pintor one-hit-wonder que está de profesor en la uni). Me lo empecé en el kindle para tener algo 'de fondo' (para leer los diez minutos antes de dormirme cada noche) mientras me leía en físico trío, y me ha acabado encantando. With a canny, critical eye, Sirens & Muses overturns notions of class, money, art, youth, and a generation’s fight to own their future.

In the process, they must find either their most authentic terms of life-of success, failure, and joy-or risk losing themselves altogether. Now all must struggle to find new identities in art, in society, and among each other. When Preston concocts an explosive hoax, the fates of all four artists are upended as each is unexpectedly thrust into the cutthroat New York art world. But Karina also can’t shake her fascination with Preston Utley, a senior and anti-capitalist Internet provocateur, who is publicly feuding with visiting professor and political painter Robert Berger-a once-controversial figurehead seeking to regain relevance. Gradually, Louisa and Karina are drawn into an intense sensual and artistic relationship, one that forces them to confront their deepest desires and fears. Complicating matters is Louisa’s unexpected attraction to her charismatic roommate, Karina Piontek, the preternaturally gifted but mercurial daughter of wealthy art collectors.

Louisa Arceneaux is a thoughtful, observant nineteen-year-old when she transfers to Wrynn as a scholarship student, but she soon finds herself adrift in an environment that prizes novelty over beauty. But at the elite Wrynn College of Art, students paint and sculpt in a rarefied bubble. It’s 2011: America is in a deep recession and Occupy Wall Street is escalating. a deeply relatable and profoundly enjoyable read, one drenched in prismatic color and light.”-Kristen Arnett, New York Times bestselling author of With Teeth “Captures the ache-inducing quality of art and desire. Four artists are drawn into a web of rivalry and desire at an elite art school and on the streets of New York in this “gripping, provocative, and supremely entertaining” (BuzzFeed) debut
