Miss Rosen
Book Review #40

Do It Yourself. The ethos of the punk movement that began in the 1970s with a kind of we-ain’t-got-no-money joie de vivre. Style is using what you have at your disposal and putting it to work; being crafty, creative, criminal if need be. Turning everything on end to what end? Perhaps just ...

Awards

Prix Virginia : Liz Hingley
The Jones's family

Liz could be the reed in La Fontaine’s fable: it seems frail, falling, ready to collapse, but it resists with incredible force and stands up to the test of time. I met Liz more than ten years ago when I was an au pair at Oxford. Her simple message, sent from Austin, Tex...

Press Review

US press review by Paul Melcher
