Turns out, quite a lot. I think Aline Simone really hates hipsters, and beyond that she hates fake artists more. That's not a problem, I think we all do, but this book is so rife with cynicism that at times it almost hurts to read it.
Simone is a good writer, with interesting subject matter, and towards the end it did turn into a real page turner. But the resolution was weak, and it's about the worst thing thing that any aspiring creative could read.
Wanted to like it, but didn't feel like joining the author in CleverCleverLand.
