This was a very unique collection of short stories (and a novella in two parts) revolving around themes of Jewish life, being an artist and just being all around, a bit different. There are also staggeringly beautiful moments about relationships, however, not necessarily the good parts of relationships, but the uneasiness when two people are growing apart or falling out of love. Sometimes the stories get a little weird and I'm not sure all the endings match up that well with what preceded them. But that said, the writing is very engaging and I cared to learn about these people and their problems, interests and yearnings. I read the entire book in a couple of days. It seemed there was a bit of many people I know in most of these characters. Recommended, especially for something a bit off the beaten path, or those looking to discover some new and different short stories. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

From Victorian toy theatres to a painting with a mysterious story behind it to a graphic novelist's battle with the schizophrenia which causes her cartoon characters to march off the page, the novella and six stories in Debra Spark's fourth work of fiction, The Pretty Girl, revolve around artists, artistry, and the magical--sometimes malicious--deceptions they create. With settings that traverse New York's Lower East Side, Victorian London, Paris and Switzerland, Spark's stories twist and turn in mesmerizing ways as they reflect on the fictions we fabricate about and for friends, family, and strangers.
