Gary Shteyngart
I missed Gary Shteyngart's recent Atlanta visit as part of the Savannah College of Art and Design's Ivy Hall Writers Series, but fortunately Parul Kapur Hinzen of the ArtsCriticsATL interviewed the author of Super Sad True Love Story and Absurdistan while he was in town. In her interview Shteyngart talks about growing up in the former Soviet Union and how it has influenced his writings about America. Read it here.
Albert Camus
The Henri Cartier-Bresson photo exhibit at the High Museum ends Sunday, May 29th. It's a large exhibit worth seeing and it includes author photos of William Faulkner, Truman Capote, Jean Paul-Sartre, and Simone de Beauvoir, but my favorite is Albert Camus, circa 1944. My respect for copyright keeps me from posting the photo, which is available all over the internet. (I am not going to tell you which Camus is hung at the High, you'll have to go and see for yourself.)
My respect for copyright also explains why there are so many badly staged photos on this blog. I take most of the photos on this blog myself, so I can keep my mind free from copyright anxiety. Obviously, Cartier-Bresson's legacy as the father of modern photo journalism has nothing to fear from me.
