An interesting, provocative book. It could have used more illustrations (so much to choose from on this topic!) but the essays are generally of high quality and the responses spice it up (the Lear/Zizek exchange, for example, is a gem). Writing style varies greatly, from the scholarly to the quasi-confessional to poetry and fiction. Any reader is bound to like some pieces more than others, but you can skip around with relative impunity, and the introduction ties it all together pretty nicely. It's fun to watch art and theory battle for dominion in the realm of love. I say the palm goes to art.
