"In this delightful autofiction—the first book by Gainza, an Argentine art critic, to appear in English—a woman delivers pithy assessments of world-class painters along with glimpses of her life, braiding the two into an illuminating whole." —The New York Times Book Review, Editors' Choice
The narrator of Optic Nerve is an Argentinian woman whose obsession is art. The story of her life is the story of the paintings, and painters, who matter to her. Her intimate, digressive voice guides us through a gallery of moments that have touched her.Le informazioni nella sezione "Riassunto" possono far riferimento a edizioni diverse di questo titolo.
