Overview

«Contundente y hermosa... Anita de Monte ríe la última clama por justicia. Escribiendo con urgencia y rabia, González habla en nombre de quienes han sido marginados, considerados indignos y despojados de su legado». --The Washington Post Cuando Anita de Monte, una estrella emergente en el mundo del arte, muere trágicamente en Nueva York en 1985, su historia queda oscurecida por el legado de su marido, Jack Martin, un reconocido y poderoso artista. Trece años después, Raquel, una estudiante puertorriqueña de Historia del Arte en una universidad de la Ivy League, que lucha por encontrar su lugar, descubre la historia de Anita mientras investiga sobre Jack Martin para su tesis. Cuando comienza una relación con un estudiante mayor que ella con buenas conexiones, Raquel experimenta lo que significa subir de estatus social, y la inquietante historia de Anita de Monte la lleva a cuestionarse su propia vida y cómo su relación es un reflejo de la de la artista. Alternando entre el pasado y el presente, y narrada desde la perspectiva de ambas mujeres, Anita de Monte ríe la última es una fascinante novela sobre el poder, el amor y el arte, que se pregunta quién merece ser recordado --y quiénes son olvidados-- en el exclusivo mundo de las élites. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION ""Powerful and beautiful... Anita de Monte Laughs Last is a cry for justice. Writing with urgency and rage, González speaks for those who have been marginalized, deemed unworthy, and stripped of their legacy."" --The Washington Post In 1985, Anita de Monte -- a rising star in the art world -- dies tragically in New York. But instead of her life being celebrated, her story is eclipsed by the legacy of her husband, Jack Martin, a powerful and acclaimed artist. Thirteen years later, Raquel, a Puerto Rican art history student at an Ivy League university, is struggling to find her place. While researching Jack Martin for her thesis, she stumbles upon the forgotten life of Anita. As Raquel begins a relationship with an older, well-connected student, she experiences the thrill -- and the discomfort -- of social ascent. Anita's haunting story forces her to question her own path, and whether history is repeating itself. Told in alternating timelines from both women's perspectives, Anita de Monte Laughs Last is a gripping novel about power, love, and art -- asking who gets remembered, and who gets left behind in the rarefied world of the elite.
