I was drawn to read Anita De Monte Laughs Last because of the name of the author who is Xochitl Gonzales. This is a book about artists. The story is told by Anita (in the past) and Raquel (in the present). Raquel is an art history student. Her original intent was to research the famous husband of Anita who works in large geometric sculptures. Anita's story has been overshadowed by his. He intended to overshadow his wife's work. The size of his ego is huge. Anita is originally from Cuba and there is some haunting in this story. Because of Raquel, though, Anita does get the last laugh which I very much appreciated.
