Portrait of the artist as a broke and brilliant, hungry and funny young woman' (Lynn Steger Strong, author of Want), this hilarious and incisive comingofage novel about an art student from a poor family struggling to find her place in a new social class of rich, wellconnected peers is perfect for fans of Elif Batumans The Idiot and Weike Wangs ChemistryAt her San Francisco art school, Joey enrolls in a film elective that requires her to complete what seems like a straightforward assignment: create a selfportrait. Joey inexplicably decides to remake Wes Andersons Rushmore despite having never seen the movie. As Tell Me Im An Artist unfolds over the course of the semester, the assignment hangs over her as she struggles to exist in a wellheeled world that is hugely different from any she has known.Miles away, Joeys sister goes missing, leaving her toddler with their mother, who in turn suggests that Joey might be the selfish one for pursuing her dreams. Meanwhile, her only friend at school, the enigmatic Suz, makes meaningful, appealing art, a product of Suz's own singular drive and talent as well as decades of careful nurturing by wealthy, sophisticated parents.A masterful novel from an author known for her candid and searching prose, Tell Me Im An Artist examines the invisible divide created by class and privilege, ruminates on the shame that follows choosing a path that has not been laid out for you, and interrogates what makes someone an artist at all.
