Siri Hustvedt`s “What I Loved” is a hard book to get a handle on. It starts off as one thing, then has evolved into something completely different by the novel`s end. What it starts off as is a story about a growing friendship between two men, Leo Hertzberg and Bill Weschler. Leo is a professor who buys a painting by Bill, an artist and is so enthralled with it that he tracks Bill down. The two become friends and stay such through a number of changes in their lives, including Bill`s decision to leave his wife for his model, the passionate intellectual Violet.
