ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

What I Loved by Siri Hustvedt is a novel that explores the intertwined lives of two New York families navigating the complexities of art, love, and loss. The story centers on Leo Hertzberg, an art historian, and his close friendship with the artist Bill Wechsler and his family.

The narrative delves into their relationships, creative pursuits, and personal struggles as they confront tragedy and moral questions. Themes of identity, perception, and the power of art to both reflect and distort reality are central to the novel. As the characters grapple with their own desires and anxieties, they confront profound questions about the nature of existence and the search for meaning in a chaotic world.
