Book Review: Daily Self-Portraits 1972-1973 by Melissa Shook
I have spent a considerable amount of time with Melissa Shook’s newly published, though posthumous, Daily Self-Portraits 1972-1973.

Book Review: The Sacrifice Zone by Eddo Hartmann
Kazakhstan is the largest country in Central Asia and was an important republic of the Soviet Union until 1991.
