Last works






An interesting collection of last works:  Endpiece.  Eva Hesse, Keith Haring, Max Ernst, and more.

I am immersed in Elizabeth Hand's sequel to Generation Loss, Available Light.  It really moves.  If you can hack death metal, Weegee, and Norse sacrificial mythology in the seedy underbelly of Iceland, I highly recommend it.  It's a good companion to Sontag's twin works on photography, as well.  Putting the theory into action. 

I haven't been willing to read or view The Girl Who series, being tired of certain overused thrillerish trappings, but they might share turf, I dunno.  Hand is very readable, that I can vouch for...
