New York Times bestselling author Xochitl Gonzalez delivers a
mesmerizing novel about a first-generation Ivy League student who
uncovers the genius work of a female artist decades after her
suspicious death Who gets to leave a legacy? 1985. Anita de Monte,
a rising star in the art world, is found dead in New York City; her
tragic death is the talk of the town. Until it isn't. By 1998
Anita's name has been all but forgotten--certainly by the time
Raquel, a third-year art history student is preparing her final
thesis. On College Hill, surrounded by progeny of film producers,
C-Suite executives, and international art-dealers, most of whom
float through life knowing that their futures are secured, Raquel
feels herself an outsider. Students of color, like Raquel, are the
minority there, and the pressure to work twice as hard for the same
opportunities is no secret. But when Raquel becomes romantically
involved with a well-connected older art student, she finds herself
unexpectedly rising up the social ranks. As she attempts to
straddle both worlds, she stumbles upon Anita's story, raising
questions about the dynamics of her own relationship, which eerily
mirrors that of the forgotten artist. Moving back and forth through
time and told from the perspectives of both women, Anita de Monte
Laughs Last, is a propulsive, witty examination of power, love, and
art, daring to ask who gets to be remembered and who is left behind
in the rarefied world of the elite.
