It came in the mail today. I opened to the essay you mention and found on the very first page a reference to Moby Dick.
It was near supper. Had to put it down.
I had forgotten about Guy Daveport. (So thanks.) He wrote a beautiful introduction for a little known US photgrapher, Ralph Eugene Meatyard. His pics are similar to Arbus, but spontaneous and less about surface if that makes sense at all. He was an optometrist by day. His family figures in his
pics. Friends with Thomas Merton, who I gather was quite the maverick. One picture all blurry of him playing bongos.I dig a pony.
