Description
ArtforumArtforum is certainly one of C sar Aira's most charming, quirky, and funny books to date. Consisting of a series of interrelated stories about his compulsion to collect Artforum magazine, this is not about art so much as it is about passionate obsession. At first we follow our hapless collector from magazine shops to used bookstores hunting for copies of Artforum. A friend alerts him to a copy somewhere and he obsesses about actually going to get it
Artforum is certainly one of C sar Aira's most charming, quirky, and funny books to date. Consisting of a series of interrelated stories about his compulsion to collect Artforum magazine, this is not about art so much as it is about passionate obsession. At first we follow our hapless collector from magazine shops to used bookstores hunting for copies of Artforum. A friend alerts him to a copy somewhere and he obsesses about actually going to get it--will the shop be open, will the copy already be sold? Finally he takes out a subscription, but then it never comes, so he hounds the mailman. There's the day his stash of Artforums gets rained on, but only one absorbs the water. And interspersed is a wacky chapter about the mystery of the broken clothespins. "How weird." "How crazy."Binding Type: Paperback

Quick, fun read
Format: Kindle
I purchased this because my son and I have been raising 2 albino axolotls since 2022.
The illustrations are very cute and well done. The story includes a few characters and even though it's so short, there is clear character development.
I would recommend this for children under the age of 8 to be read to. With repetition, they will easily be able to read this book (apart from those with reading challenges).
My 12 year old read it through in one sitting and added his own unique reading style to it which was really funny.
I wouldn't recommend reading this on a small screen as the font is small.

Great Start
Format: Hardcover
My 9 year old doesn’t like reading. When it’s time for him to read to us, this is his go to book. Chapter books are a bit intimidating for him. He is eager to read about Max and is wanting to ready without us asking. We are looking forward to book 2.
