Tony Duvert: Un Anneau D’argent á L’oreille and Abécédaire Malveillant by Ami Kealoha
The late French writer Tony Duvert is probably best known for When Jonathan Died (Quand Mourut Jonathan), the tale of a mutually destructive sexual relationship between a middle aged artist and a young boy.
Recently two of Duvert's more recent works have been republished by A.P.C. now that interest in the obscure writer has been rekindled since his death.
These later works are Un Anneau D’argent á L’oreille (A Silver Ring in the Ear), which his fans say was his 1982 farewell to novel writing, and then Abécédaire Malveillant (A Spiteful Primer) what has been described as an indictment against all that the author grew to destest—philosophers, priests even his own parents—which eventually drove him into isolation where he died alone last year.Both are $18 from A.P.C. but neither of these works are available in English translation. At least not yet. You can however purchase "Good Sex Illustrated" for an introduction to Duvert's views on on sex education and children's rights to their bodies and sexuality.

Photographer Michael Cogliantry: Furverts
by Russ Lowe We recently sat down over a tall boy with photographer Michael Cogliantry to chat about his latest book project "Furverts," chopping wood and his first case of hate mail.

The first Pacific Northwest winter is a...
