Friends L & M recommended The Elegance of the Hedgehog to me, and a big thank you to them. This book contains the most extraordinary writing about the arts and the way the arts enrich our lives that I have ever read. I've read a lot of art history, criticism, essays, and this is The Best. A joy to read. The scoop: a lonely concierge in an up-scale Parisian condo has a secret life of arts appreciation, which is her lifeblood. Her observations on art, music, literature and film are fantastic. Lots of colorful characters, but the juice is her thoughts about the arts.
