candace's pocket review of The Red Men, a sci-fi novel set in Hackney that she just finished. I suspect I'll borrow this and finish it off; sounds good (if badly proof-read).

Simon Wheatly on privacy, alienated youth and photography.

Having found the Magnum photo archive, and then its blog, I'm probably going to do a link dump, here as well as on ffffound. This is from Lise Sarfati's series, New York Virgins. Interesting commentary.
