Remembering the Name of the Weschler One Sees

Filed under: Letters & Challenges   Tagged: , ,

Emdashes reader Tom McDonald notes:

I was tickled to see a piece in praise of Lawrence Weschler’s 1982 book, Seeing is Forgetting the Name of the Thing One Sees: A Life of Contemporary Artist Robert Irwin, in The Stranger, Seattle’s alternative weekly. Maybe it was just a slow week for the Seattle art scene, I don’t know. My own copy of the book has a folded-up copy of the mid-to-late 1990s New Yorker “follow-up” article by LW on RI.
