In Poor Artists, aspiring painter Quest Talukdar embarks on a surreal journey into the creative industry, where she must decide whether she cares more about success or staying true to herself. Blending fiction and dialogue taken from anonymous interviews with real people from the art world, this book tells the story of art like never before.
"An indispensable read, giving insights on an 'art world' at the edge of collapse. Living for it." -- Legacy Russell, author of Glitch Feminism and Black Meme
"I love the energy, deep humour and alive thought in Poor Artists, which zooms through galleries, universities, a hospital ward, and a spaceship, capturing what is tragic, and what's glorious, about art and the world right now." -- Daisy Hildyard, author of Emergency
"A refreshing, thoughtful and critical but fun voice to an often stale art world. I was surprised, challenged and affirmed - everything I love in a book" -- Travis Alabanza
