So you know how the art world suffers from this reputation of people being overly pretentious and taking shit too far in the name of art? That is pretty much this book.
It aims to dive into the disturbing with self mutilation and body modifications, but that gets quickly overshadowed by jealous and warring art factions fighting for relevance and choosing art over personal relationships.
At one point this might have been edgy, but I mostly found it dull and perhaps a little guilty of some of the same crimes of these characters, trying too hard to portray a message that it gets lost in the pursuit of art.

"The way it flows through time jumping forward without really acknowledging it is a little off putting. It also lacks the sense of horror that led me to pick the book, but it's not all bad"
