In these essays, the acclaimed artist, photographer, writer, and
filmmaker Moyra Davey often begins with a daily encounter - with a
photograph, a memory, or a passage from a book - and links that
subject to others, drawing fascinating and unlikely connections,
until you can almost feel the texture of her thinking. While
thinking and writing, she weaves together disparate writers and
artists - Mary Wollstonecraft, Jean Genet, Virginia Woolf, Janet
Malcolm, Chantal Akerman, and Roland Barthes, among many others -
in a way that is both elliptical and direct, clearheaded and
personal, prismatic and self-examining, layering narratives to
reveal the thorny but nourishing relationship between art and life.
