Savage Art

The novel's depiction of obsession and obsession's destructive side is intense. I'm curious what motivated the author to explore this gritty side of art culture.

The story had some slow moments but then picked up again. I'm wondering if that was a deliberate choice to build tension or just the story's natural flow.

The characters' motives felt complex and layered. I wonder what inspired the approach to make them so psychologically nuanced.
