Blue Ruin by Hari Kunzru


I listened to this book on my walks and the narration was by the author, so very good.  However, I feel like I would have gotten more out of the book had I read the words on paper.  I am not sure why, but perhaps because it is a very deep book.  I enjoyed it and appreciated its messages, but it was dark!
Here are some of the ideas explored in the book, as written in Kirkus:
...the novel is a study of the complications of art, money, and identity. Is Rob more free as an artist for having access to wealthy patrons? Does Jay have more integrity for sabotaging his art world prospects? And why do muses like Alice absorb so much abuse up on that pedestal?
