SUMMARY:MONA Book Club - November 3\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:MONA’s Book Club is for avid readers whose interests lie in authors from Nebraska or reading about Nebraska or art are welcome\, and may join at any time.  \n\n\n\nNovember – Anita de Monte Laughs Last by Xóchitl González \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNew York Times bestselling author Xochitl Gonzalez delivers a mesmerizing novel about a first-generation Ivy League student who uncovers the genius work of a female artist decades after her suspicious death1985. Anita de Monte\, a rising star in the art world\, is found dead in New York City; her tragic death is the talk of the town. Until it isn’t. By 1998 Anita’s name has been all but forgotten—certainly by the time Raquel\, a third-year art history student is preparing her final thesis. On College Hill\, surrounded by privileged students whose futures are already paved out for them\, Raquel feels like an outsider. Students of color\, like her\, are the minority there\, and the pressure to work twice as hard for the same opportunities is no secret. \n\n\n\nBut when Raquel becomes romantically involved with a well-connected older art student\, she finds herself unexpectedly rising up the social ranks. As she attempts to straddle both worlds\, she stumbles upon Anita’s story\, raising questions about the dynamics of her own relationship\, which eerily mirrors that of the forgotten artist. \n\n\n\nMoving back and forth through time and told from the perspectives of both women\, Anita de Monte Laughs Last is a propulsive\, witty examination of power\, love\, and art\, daring to ask who gets to be remembered and who is left behind in the rarefied world of the elite.
