Description
At long last, in conjunction with the release of her first book, writer Rebecca Bengal joins Nate Heiges with an idiosyncratic mixtape plumbing the depths (and looking up to the heights) of American life. Rebecca’s ability to combine dedication to her own writing with an intelligent respect and devotion to the work of other artists, particularly photographers and musicians, was an early inspiration for The Selection Committee Radio Show. She leavens journalistic bravery with remarkable sensitivity and humor in her collection of essays and interviews, Strange Hours: Photography, Memory, and the Lives of Artists, recently published by Aperture. Rebecca doesn’t just talk about the artists, however—some of my favorite parts of her book examine the lives of their fans, and I think we all can relate to that. Rebecca’s personal website is rebeccabengal.net, and she recently contributed a short story to the Kristine Potter monograph Dark Waters (Aperture).
