Yesterday @KirkusReviews...

...I wrote about Daisy Whitney's Starry Nights, which didn't succeed on all fronts, but still made me smile:

While I grant you that that passage has a vaguely creepy voyeuristic vibe, it also highlights the reverence with which Whitney writes about art: as something sacred, something holy. The details about art and art history—as well as the moments of travelogue as Julien and his friends run around Paris—are well integrated in the narrative, and the very few moments in which the information is relayed in a more didactic manner are forgivable, as Whitney does a great job of choosing hugely interesting tidbits to share.
