In these essays, the acclaimed artist, photographer,writer, and filmmaker Moyra Davey often begins witha daily encounter with a photograph, a memory, or apassage from a book and links that subject to others,drawing fascinating and unlikely connections, untilyou can almost feel the texture of her thinking. Whilethinking and writing, she weaves together disparatewriters and artists Mary Wollstonecraft, Jean Genet,Virginia Woolf, Janet Malcolm, Chantal Akerman andRoland Barthes, among many others in a way that isboth elliptical and direct, clearheaded and personal,prismatic and self-examining, layering narratives toreveal the thorny but nourishing relationship betweenart and life.
