Anita de Monte Laughs Last

This isn't a "Feel-good" book, but it's very well written and the parallel stories were fascinating. The conversation around identity and art was also on point.

One of the best audiobooks I have ever listened to. The actress who voiced Anita was EPIC!

A story about institutional classism and racism in the art world. Two Latina women - Anita and Raquel, over a decade apart in time - experience similar injustices and barriers from the men and the established systems around them. It takes a lot of self-awareness, anger and a touch of magic-realism, that then brings out the fighting spirits to right those wrongs.

The audiobook and its narrators were loud and boisterous and a lot of fun to listen to. Now off to read the article about the controversies surrounding this book (about the uncredited artist who inspired it).
