I've been reading "A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius" by Dave Eggers for a while now, I'm near the end. And then I went and got "The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket" by Edgar Allen Poe and "Stranger in a Strange Land" by Robert Heinlein to keep me busy for the next few weeks. |

'Let us now praise famous men' by James Agee and Walker Evans. A journalist and a photographer, they were sent by a magazine in 1936 to do a story about poor white farmers in Alabama. The magazine didn't publish it, but they wrote a book instead, mixing stark photographs of shocking poverty with lyrical, eccentric prose that often breaks out into poetry; it's imaginative, unusual, somewhere between reportage and fiction. _________________ http://www.myspace.com/arhythmicnick |

I'm currently working my way through the autobiography of Channel4 newsreader and veteran journalist Jon Snow (Shooting History). It's not as dry as that makes it sound, lots of interesting stuff about being in Uganda during Amin's rule and how good journalism is as much down to lucky breaks as it is to really hard graft.
Perhaps more interestingly...I've also got a anthology of strips by Aleksandar Zograf called Regards from Serbia . It's strips and e-mails chronicling life in Serbia during the wars and sanctions of the '90s.
Okay, maybe that's not more interesting but after reading This is Serbia Calling I've become quite interested in what happened to Yugoslavia, the ethno-nationalism, social divisions and it's effects on 'regular' people. |
