Thanks @glamourmag for naming SIRENS AND MUSES by Antonia Angress as one of The 40 Best Books of 2022! Sirens & Muses by Antonia Angress “I'm a sucker for a campus novel, and I'm endlessly fascinated by the New York art world and the aspiring creators that long to be a part of it, so I enjoyed Angress's novel immensely. The first half is set at the fictional elite arts college Wrynn, and the second in New York City circa 2011, with the Occupy movement looming. Told in four alternating perspectives, we meet Louisa, a talented Southern painter on scholarship; her rich roommate Karina, also a painter and the daughter of prominent New York art collectors; Preston, an antiestablishment wave maker with an incendiary art blog; and professor Robert looking to shake things up in midlife after having been once renowned for his political art. Themes include class, talent, sexuality, envy, and what it means to create from a place of meaning.” @antoniaangress #sirensandmuses #debutfiction #bestbooksoftheyear
