Pro Reviews: Boogie-Woogie
[A]spires to satire but achieves only a caricature of the New York art scene.
Publisher Notes: Boogie-Woogie
- Like "The Player"'s hilariously poker-faced dissection of Hollywood, "Boogie-Woogie"'s lurid quick cuts uncover of the tenderest portions of the '90's New York art world's underbelly
Elaine Yoon, a tattooed, pierced, Chinese-Californian lesbian, obsessively seduces straight women, and films video shorts of her sexual conquests. Jo Richards, an intellectually challenged installation artist grappling with the idea of peripheral vision, knows the whereabouts of Mondrian's last painting. Art Spindle, a cravat-wearing, reptilian art dealer, desperately wants to sell the Mondrian, when he isn't sleeping with Jean Maclestone, collector and art-hag, the vain wife of stuttering uber-collector Bob Maclestone.
This cast of characters dance through incestuous working relationships, run-ins with incompetent gallery owners, and the lure of manipulative art dealers. Danny Moynihan's deliciously satirical sexual deviants, attention seekers, and would-be murderers ring true in this sophisticated, sharply observed, darkly humorous novel.
