  1. 1. The Art Of The Glimpse

    Fifty Writers on Fifty Works

    A porous collection of essays and criticism that moves between memoir and close reading, showing how brief encounters—glimpses—with books, images and other people can open out into larger truths. The writer reflects on the body, illness and care, family, gender and grief, and the politics of visibility, arguing that attention and small acts of witnessing are both ethical and transformative. Interweaving sharp readings of other artists with personal anecdote, the pieces celebrate reading and looking as practices that reshape how we understand ourselves and the world around us.
