is this book not gay??

very uninspired prose and dialogue

The subject of art forgery is truly fascinating when combined with the history of famous forgers, the technical process of replicating a painter’s style, and the philosophical questions about authenticity and the value of a fake piece if it is technically indistinguishable from the original.

Here, you have a potentially interesting plot architecture with almost no psychological or atmospheric depth to fill it.
