I See You: The Number One Sunday Times Bestseller

Product Information

All the dialogue in the book is transcribed without attribution or commentary. Each chapter is presented as a numbered “Log” followed by letters indicating the primary characters who feature in it. In “Log VII/B (and A),” B tells A that when she was modeling, she “never felt real” but rather “like something whipped up for the occasion, something disposable.” During the conversation, B tries to seduce A, but A reacts angrily: “I don’t expect that crap from a woman.” The adverb “angrily” is mine, for such qualifiers or framings are incompatible with the formal organization of the book, which scrupulously excludes any viewpoint or sentiment that does not originate with a character. Later, B sits in a beauty parlor under a mud mask and tells a woman she doesn’t know that “she has secret sessions in front of the mirror where she makes herself ugly.” Beauty and ugliness are among the many categories of judgment that the book refuses to endorse. a b "Filmed-in-Cleveland 'I See You' hits theaters as its hometown producer realizes dream".

E and B agree privately that the project is “awful” but that A and D “need the confidence” it is going to give them. “Log VI/Everybody” is set during its launch party. One way this chapter extends the novel’s range of desubjectifying techniques is to present the party’s attendees as a list of statistics. Of the New Yorkers, we read, 69 “live below 14th Street,” 18 “on the Upper East Side,” 42 “on the Lower West Side,” 36 “on the Upper West Side,” etc. Verbal exchanges are presented in fragments, as snatches of overheard conversation, but also broken down as percentages: “36% of the women talked more to women than to men”; “14% made an effort to meet specific people it would be advantageous to know”; “47% spoke to former lovers.” The movement of people through the room is described purely visually—as if caught by accident in the lens of a camera. The protagonist, Zoe Walker, is a forty-something divorcee who works as a bookkeeper in central London. She hates her job, but it pays the bills, and she has two teenagers to bring up. For Zoe, life is monotonous. She takes the same route to work every day and faces the same overcrowded platforms every morning for her commute, thinking that no one notices her in the crowd. Zoe is wrong; someone is always watching her. I’m sure it’s not a body. Bodies are for Monday mornings, not Friday evenings, when work is a blissful three days away.

But I See/You Mean has been virtually unavailable for decades. In 2013, I happened upon a copy in Printed Matter, the artists’ bookstore then on 10th Avenue that Lippard herself founded in 1976 in Tribeca, before it moved to Chelsea. I have not seen another copy since, nor have I knowingly encountered another reader of the book. Few libraries list it among their holdings, and sometimes I have wondered if the book in my possession actually exists. Clement Greenberg, interview, Montreal Star, November 29, 1969; quoted in Julia Bryan-Wilson, Art Workers: Radical Practice in the Vietnam War Era (University of California Press, 2009), pp. 154–55. ↩ I See/You Mean pioneers a feminist novelistic form that is both completely of its moment and remarkably prescient of our own. Many of its formal decisions have been taken up by later writers. Other innovations—most notably, the refusal of perspective and the evacuation of narrative authority—seem like lost opportunities, paths that could have been taken but were not. Like recent works by novelists such as Chris Kraus, Valeria Luiselli, Ruth Ozeki, and Sally Rooney, I See/You Mean invites us to read it autobiographically. Its methods, though—rigorously excluding a narrator’s perspective in which all threads might be (even provisionally) tied up, and expanding the diegetic frame to include every aspect of the book’s creation—make clear its distance from subject-centered “autofiction.” The book’s recent republication by the Los Angeles press New Documents allows us to consider its formal principles as anticipating, but also as a counterpoint to, current tendencies in women’s writing. The rating scale is based on details such as how predictable they are, what clothes they wear, and whether they travel alone. Zoe, given how monotonous her routine is, is an easy target. The closer Swift gets to Zoe, the more personally invested she becomes in the case. Swift’s sister was sexually assaulted in college, and she despises all crimes against women. And the parents can't have their grandchild removed regardless of their proof of her pedophile mother because she might make a false accusation against them?!? Really? That's all it takes?

[6] [7] When Zoe gets home, she can’t get the disturbing photograph out of her mind. She confides in her friend, Melissa, who tells her not to worry about it. She puts it down to an unfortunate coincidence. Zoe, however, is not convinced, especially when she sees another girl’s picture in another newspaper—a girl who was recently robbed and strangled. Believing she is next, Zoe approaches the police. From beloved author-illustrator Eric Carle comes this brand-new interactive board book that features sweet text and shiny mirrors throughout—sure to endlessly entertain little ones! Overall a terrific read, one that has encouraged me to try some other novels from Patricia Macdonald. Patricia MacDonald is the author of several psychological suspense novels set in small towns. MacDonald grew up in Greenwich, Connecticut and has a master's degree from Boston College. Before writing her own novels she was a book editor and was once an editor for a soap opera magazine in New York. She is married to writer Art Bourgeau. They live in Cape May, New Jersey and have one daughter.This was intelligently constructed, the past event that lead them into hiding is not what you might think and the characters are all well drawn, complicated in some ways, but eminently intriguing. There is a strong undercurrent of menace that runs through the narrative keeping you on edge and the story flows along with a perfect flow, understanding of the true nature of the danger facing them unfolding in thought provoking fashion.
