Book Discussion: Anita de Monte Laughs Last by Xochitl Gonzalez (literary)

Let’s gather on a sunny Saturday morning, taste some rich coffee and yummy pastries and talk about this mesmerizing novel about a first-generation Ivy League student who uncovers the genius work of a female artist decades after her suspicious death.

A novel that explores themes of art, power, and identity through the parallel stories of two women: Anita de Monte, a rising Cuban-American artist in the 1980s, and Raquel Toro, a contemporary art history student in the late 1990s.
