The Artist's Prison

Pretentious and delusion of grandeur is nothing new when it comes to Alexandra Grant. The words she used to describe her book the Artist's Prison is laughable. These words should be given to the book by a literary critic, not by the author. I have not read the book but after reading the description, I get a pretentious vibe so I am not interested but also after all the things I have learned about the author, I don't think substance will be found in the book or anywhere near her. Someone who has this book did admit that she couldn't read it because it was that horrible and she only bought the package deal in order to get Keanu Reeves's signature. By now, she must know that she has not made anything of herself through talent, merit or integrity. Everything Grant has received has been through her connection to Keanu Reeves, even then, most people dismissed her after they meet Keanu and receive his signature. The premise of the book is where creativity is a criminal offense and she uses the word kafkaesque to describe it. Someone else has already written a book about censorship and this book is definitely kafkaesque by all account and a classic. I will post it in my next post.
