A novel of deception, political intrigue, and desire from the author of the PEN/Faulkner Award winner, The Caprices. In the summer of 1963, American Rupert Brigg travels to Greece to collect classical pieces for his Uncle William's art collection. Rupert's first discovery, however, is that Athens is a shadowy place that hides a tangle of fork-tongued diplomacy and duplicitous women, a city of replicas and composites that, like a hall of mirrors, calls to question what is real and what is false. Journeying to the secluded island of Aspros, among a circle of artists and aristocrats, each with their own secrets, Rupert finds the very pieces he's searching for, but can he escape the tragedy that ended his brief marriage? As beautiful as Rupert's discoveries are, beneath the surface lurk rumors of insurrection, fabrication, and even murder. Seductive, compelling, and sly, Forgery is a sophisticated book about the value and meaning of art, love, and the corrosive power of grief. "Forgery is as flavorsome as a summer month in the Greek isles." --Richard Lipez, The Washington Post No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

Lots of sadness. But poetic sadness.
Lots of actually interesting stuff about art and art history.
Lots of stuff about Greece, namely goats.
It kind of reminds me of the Great Gatsby. Really, nothing much happens in this book. They all kind of laze around drinking, sometimes looking at art...but then suddenly someone dies and shit gets serious.
Definitely enjoyed it. ( )
