Lulu Meets God and Doubts Him

Lulu Meets God and Doubts Him by Danielle Ganek

Mia McMurray works in an art gallery in Soho. She becomes obsessed with a portrait by the late Jeffrey Finelli (killed the night of his showing by a taxi) titled “Lulu meets God and doubts him.” This is the story of the New York City art scene, and a fight for possession of a now famous painting by an until then unknown artist. Well written, it is witty and sarcastic. Mia (the narrator) makes fun of herself and how she remains in her job, even while it pays poorly and she is far from the starving artist that so many gallery assistants are. If you enjoyed The Devil Wears Prada, this might be a novel you’d enjoy.
