Title: Author's explanation
Review: Naturally, being the author of the text of this book, and a fan of Graham's photography, I give it five stars--but also because the review format insists that I rate it.(Another example of the domination of the machine. Otherwise, I would have left the rating blank.)To avoid any confusion, it should be noted that the photographs by David Graham were taken before the contents of the house were removed and that the book is, in fact, a catalogue for his current exhibition in Philadelphia.Graham used my essay on the Kellams, which also appears in my book Against the Machine, as text, arranging his photographs in the sequence I speak of in the essay.There are only a few copies left.
Is the review positive or negative?
