Speaking of publishers’ press-copy lists, I just got a copy of the book I was afraid I’d be professionally obligated to read: Danielle Ganek‘s Lulu Meets God and Doubts Him.
Now I’m even more afraid, since it’s gotten surprisingly good reviews for its incisive inside portrayal of artworld denizens. And Guggenheim Museum director, Lisa Dennison, even threw it a book party. Ganek’s husband David is a Guggenheim trustee—a fact that the publicity material for the book tastefully omits.
This could well qualify as my summer beach book, except that I’m too fair to sunbathe.
So I think I’ll go to Art Basel instead. Light airplane reading?
