pretty sweet for a story about an arrogant man with his head up his ass

Beautifully drawn and with endearing characters, this graphic novel plays on so many levels that it definitely requires you to read it again.
The nature of art, love and humans from it's simplest expressions up to the poseurs and grandiloquent artists. All explored delicately and non-judgingly, crating a beautiful portrait of the twin that lived... even if he spends most of his life wondering about how it could have been different.
So much to learn from this book.
Poetic, smart and wonderfully illustrated graphic novel, a true beauty for brain and heart for lovers of art, philosophy, architecture and social sciences.
