A review by sakeriver
Self-Portrait with Boy by Rachel Lyon

This book was well-crafted and interesting. I have a hard time reading stories about visual artists, especially photographers—either there will be some lack of verisimilitude that pulls me out or else it’ll be cut too close to the bone. This was the latter, especially because I spend so much time thinking about how and whether my art might hurt the people around me. Still, I read the second half of this in one sitting. It was quite compelling.
