I love the close-third perspectives and the keen observations. On a sentence by sentence level, it’s a stunner.

Wagstaff by Philip Gefter
Rate this book
Clear rating
Absorbing and incredibly thorough — not only do we learn of Wagstaff, his changes and obsessions, but also of the history of photography as it evolved from mere medium into an art form. I learned a lot.
