A tiny little book filled with photographs of sculpted human faces and short, contemplative commentaries, I found this book to be a really interesting philosophical inquiry into what it means, on a basic level, to be human, and what part the face itself plays in that question. At times political, at times meditative, it's a good read. I randomly picked this up at a Goodwill and found it to be a compact little piece of wonder--reading it was a bus ride well spent.

Frank has a wonderful insight, if only i will be as creative and capable in my 90s as he was! This was one of his very last books, and the photos just glow. So many good ideas!!
