"Tiepolo Blue" is a wonderful example for why goodreads reviews should never discourage you from picking up a book. I had already seen the hardcover many moons ago at my local bookshop but decided not to buy it - the reviews really were mediocre at best. But then, thankfully, the paperback version of this novel found its way to my on my recent trip to London, and what can I tell you? Reading it was an absolute delight. Middle-aged art historian Don Lamb loses his position as a professor in Cambridge. He retreats to London, where he spends his summer being immersed in the modern art and gay scene of the 1990s, a world formerly unknown to him. "So is this another story of a privileged white man finding himself?" you may ask, and the answer is: Yes, yes it is. This book is pretentious and overly descriptive, has barely any plot and so many art references you really need to keep a pencil and an open Google tab nearby.
