Even in the dead of summer, in this post-COVID period, there are still art shows around of significance, and we bring you those in the new June/July issue of Aeqai, which has just posted. Chris Carter’s superb review of Cincinnati photographer Kent Krugh’s new photographs at Off Ludlow Gallery in Clifton is a real in-depth […]
Barely reviewed by those who select books for review, “Mayflies”, by “London Review of Books” writer/editor Andrew O’Hagan, is one of the year’s best novels. Perhaps it’s being overlooked because it deals with friendships between white heterosexual men, although, as always, these men of working class origin tend to be ignored by the cognoscenti of […]
I first learned of Edmund de Waal, author and renowned ceramicist, when a friend gave me his book “The Hare with Amber Eyes” years ago. In that (nonfiction) book, we learned of de Waal’s astonishing family history. He’d inherited a large number of rare Japanese netski (small ivory carvings) and was curious to learn where […]
The May issue of aeqai has just posted, bringing a wide variety of reviews of exhibitions from the region and from LA and New York. We begin this issue with Susan Byrnes’ magnificent review of the opening show at the newly renovated The Contemporary Dayton, a nonprofit there that’s made a big and bold move […]
Russell Banks has long been one of America’s most prominent novelists, and his new book, “Foregone”, is a work of staggering genius, complex and nuanced; it raises fascinating questions about identity and storytelling and the truths therein. The narrator, Fife, is a dying documentary filmmaker in Canada; four of his former students/acolytes have come to […]
A new novel by Thomas Grattan, “The Recent East”, is surprisingly powerful, a fascinating look at a family, starting in East Germany and ending up in the newly unified Germany (the book takes the reader from the ’60s to the ’90s), but in the same small town. This multigenerational novel begins in the small town; […]
The April issue of Aeqai has just posted. The new issue focuses more on shows in commercial and/or nonprofit gallery spaces as we’ve covered most every Museum/Arts Center show around for the moment. Karen Chambers reviews the work of another two very fine regional artists, Tina Tamarro and Lesley Daly at the newish, smart Indian […]
Viet Thanh Nguyen burst onto the literary scene about three years ago with his brilliant, Pulitzer-prize winning novel “The Sympathizer”, which dealt with The Vietnam War and its aftermath from the point of view of a double spy; we left off with him departing Vietnam by boat while his blood brother departing Vietnam by airplane […]
A couple of years ago I reviewed John Young’s first novel, “When The Coin Is in the Air”, not knowing that the author lived here in Cincinnati. It was a very strong debut novel about a family living on a farm in Southern Indiana, where high school athletics are the major part of the town’s […]
We’re pleased to let our readers know that our March issue of Aeqai has just posted, and equally pleased that so many arts venues, nonprofits and commercial spaces both, have reopened and are offering a wide range of engaging exhibitions. 2021 would have been the national meeting place, in Cincinnati, of the National Council on […]
Of the many novels published so far in 2021, few stand out for overall excellence; many are overpraised and veer into the whiny. Ali Benjamin’s first novel for adults, “The Smash-Up”, is a fine exception. Based upon Edith Wharton’s “Ethan Frome”, which I happened to have reread just last year, which is a very clever […]
Although I am leery of, and usually bored by, novels about the internet, a world in which I have little to zero interest, Lauren Oyler’s debut novel “Fake Accounts” is a real exception. Oyler, for starts, is a brilliant writer, and the worlds she describes–of fake identities and obsessive reading of a variety of social […]
Aeqai has just posted its annual combined January/February issue, and we’ve found quite a few wonderful shows to review, even during this quiet/frustrating time defined by COVID. Jonathan Kamholtz offers us two reviews this month, the first of which is the Duveneck painting show at Cincinnati Art Museum, one of the finest reviews of this […]
I have long believed that Joan Didion has the greatest mind of any writer, thinker, essayist, reporter, anywhere in the world during her long writing career (both fiction and nonfiction). She is now 86 and has retired from writing, so that the newest collection of her writings, “Let Me Tell You What I Mean”, proves […]
Kevin Barry, whose 2019 novel “Night Boat to Tangier” was one of that year’s best novels, has returned with a gorgeous book of short stories, “That Old Country Music”, which absolutely places him in the top tier of writers in the world. The quotation he uses as his frontispiece rather sums up the stories: “I […]
Our very short December issue of Aeqai has just posted. Because of the recent spiking of COVID, very few museums and galleries are open; some of the commercial galleries have limited hours and/or are open by appointment, but Aeqai’s reviews of regional painter Bukang Kim’s one person exhibition at The Dayton Art Institute and the […]
2020 was a terrible year for most of us, between a rampaging and terrifying pandemic and a bizarre election that tested the very limits of democracy, but it was a splendid year for fiction. I’m offering my annual “best fiction of 2020” list this year, as I have for decades now. My list is very […]
Among the finest historical fiction of 2020, Jess Walter’s novel “The Cold Millions” is one of the very best (the other two I’ve read this year that are as excellent as Walter’s novel are “The Pull of the Stars” and “An Elegant Woman”). Walters examines a relatively little known aspect of the development of The […]
Julia Alvarez’s new novel, “Afterlife”, is one of those relatively short but nearly perfect novels that I used to associate so strongly with the late Anita Brookner’s fiction. It’s beautifully written, and its tone subtle and elegant, just pitch perfect. The narrator/protagonist, Antonia, has just retired from teaching in a small college in Vermont (in […]
“Shuggie Bain”, by Douglas Stuart, just won the prestigious Booker Award for fiction; I read it a couple of months ago, and it is an astonishing first novel. The narrator/protagonist is a young boy named Shuggie, for his father Shug, a cab driver married to the boy’s mother, Agnes. The relationship between Agnes, who’s increasingly […]
Aeqai is pleased to offer the following works for sale as part of our Annual Benefit. To purchase, please contact Cedric Cox at 513 485 0180 or cedricmichaelcox@cedricmichaelcox.com.
The October issue of Aeqai has just posted, and we have covered as many shows as we can find open, within reason, for your reading pleasure and stimulation. Aeqai does not review online shows, because our writers cannot see and thus review the installations in question, and computers notoriously distort color. So we’re sticking to […]
The joys of reading fiction by Mary Gordon seem endless, and her newest novel, “Payback”, is one of her finest to date. I’ve been reading Gordon for at least thirty to forty years now; she teaches at Barnard, and is one of America’s finest writers. And her fiction is really for and about adults, like […]
Opinions vary wildly about the writer Marilynne Robinson. I generally find her to be commandingly brilliant, one of America’s leading Christian theologians and most exciting novelists. Her novel “Gilead” won the Pulitzer Prize some years ago, and she completes her series of four novels about life in Gilead and its inhabitants, beginning with the friendship […]
The September issue of Aeqai has just posted, as more art venues are reopening to live visitors. We have three articles that focus on The Cincinnati Art Museum, a place virtually jumping with energy and fresh new ideas. Susan Byrnes’ reviews the just opened exhibition of work (much of it photographic) by Hank Willis Thomas, […]
The fall season brings a plethora of new novels, many of them good to excellent. One of the year’s best to date is “An Elegant Woman”, by Martha McPhee, which didn’t get a lot of press play but is a superb family saga with brilliantly delineated characters and a superb underlying historical philosophy, to boot. […]
Emma Donoghue, the author of the much and deservedly praised “The Room”, seems to have an amazing knack with writing about very small spaces, and the immense amount of activity that may well take place there; there, in this novel, is a small ward in a Dublin Hospital in l9l8, right as World War I […]
“Homeland Elegies: A Novel”, by Ayad Akhtar, is a combination novel/memoir about his life as a Muslim man in America, 2020. Let me state up front that this book is a must read, one of 2020’s finest, addressing topics of great urgency in language that soars with brilliancy, with anger, with sorrow, and occasionally with […]
We know that it’s been a very long summer for everyone, whatever your circumstances may be, so we’ve decided to go ahead with a relatively short but pithy issue of Aeqai, partly so our readers know there’s some shows out there worth seeing, and partly as our show of support for those courageous enough to […]
Everyone has tried to cope, in their own ways, with the surrealist world that COVID-19 has brought us; many people have had too much time on their hands while others are being torn in too many directions at the same time. Since I am someone with a compromised immune system, I’ve been home much of […]
Catherine Lacey’s relatively slim novel “Pew” is also one of this year’s most fascinating, and most important, novels. In a relatively small Midwestern, all white city, the character who will be named “Pew” by those who find her/him sleeping in a church pew, appears out of nowhere. “Pew” mostly doesn’t speak, or when they do, […]
As I’ve mentioned before in reviewing novels this year, the newly independent woman finding herself in New York has become a genre unto itself; the best example this year is “The Exhibition of Persephone Q”; the two women writers who’ve helped to establish this genre are the superbly gifted Mary Gaitskill and the always fascinating Ottessa […]
As I age, I find very new novels written about ageing, or about adults in the latter phases of their lives (Penelope Lively’s Booker-award winning novel “Moon Tiger” was one of the first of this genre, though written decades ago; recent fiction by Margaret Drabble enters this territory as well). Roddy Doyle’s newest novel “Love”, […]
The June issue of Aeqai focuses exclusively on artwork made by artists who are African-American. I asked our writers to choose an artist/work of art by any African-American artist, as we did in May with women artists; the assignment was made before the protests following the murder of George Floyd (and so many other African-Americans) […]
Kate Elizabeth Russell’s debut novel, “My Dark Vanessa” is both the most important and the most compelling novel to date of 2020. It adds nuance and ambiguity to the sometimes frightening excesses of The Me Too movement, which perhaps fiction can do far better than journalism. Deeply researched, the novel concerns a fifteen year old […]
Megha Majumdar’s debut novel “A Burning” happened to appear during the height of the recent protests which began with the murder of George Floyd by police in Minneapolis. The novel couldn’t be more timely or topical, and it’s a splendid novel, to boot. A Muslim young woman finds herself, accidentally, in the wrong place at […]
Since many of our readers very much enjoyed our April issue, where we asked our writers to pick one work of art anywhere in the world and tell us why it’s important, we decided to do a variation on that idea for our May issue, as museums and galleries are still mostly closed. For May, […]
“The Exhibition of Persephone Q”, by Jessi Jezeweska Stevens, is her debut novel and it is commandingly brilliant. The dystopian novel has rather taken over in fiction, particularly fiction by millennials, an overmaligned generation whose voices are just beginning to fill our bookstores. While we’re used to reading fiction about the wandering, lost single white […]
Paulette Jiles’ new novel, “Simon The Fiddler”, is both charming and a wonderful story; the writer offers us some fascinating history of the State of Texas right after the end of The Civil War, when the novel takes place. It feels, in many ways, like a fairy tale, which is part of the wonder of […]
“The Mountains Sing”, by Nguyen Han Que Mai, is the first novel I’ve ever read about a Vietnamese family and its vicissitudes over four generations of war, reeducation, landgrabbing by peasants from the middle classes, the French and American wars. For the record, the American war is basically just a piece of this book, almost […]
With virtually every arts organization and commercial gallery closed for the duration of the pandemic, I asked all of our critics to pick one work of art anywhere in the world and tell our readers why it’s important. The results vary wildly; our younger writers tended to look at older works of art, while the […]
One of the side benefits of this period when we’re mostly all at home, for me, has been that I’m reading even more than I usually do. I’ve polished off fifteen novels since we were asked to stay inside; the best of these, to date, is James McBride’s wonderfully toned “Deacon King Kong”. The novel […]
Virtually every important literary critic has been raving about Magda Szabo’s novel “Abigail”, published in the l970 in her home country of Hungary, but recently translated and published internationally. The novel is as wonderful as the hype would have it. Gina is a teenaged girl living in Budapest with her widowed father and her French […]
The March issue of Aeqai has just posted; it’s a somewhat abridged issue, as many columns couldn’t get written due to the closing of galleries and museums due to the coronavirus pandemic. But some of our writers did manage to see and review their shows before all those closings, and we include those in this […]
The exhibition “Atmospherics” coincides with the beginning of spring, when, after the long grey days of winter, color begins to burst forth in Nature’s annual spectacle of new life, hope and resurrection. All sixteen of the regional artists whose work is included in “Atmospherics” look at and interpret the glories of Nature in her/his own […]
The astonishing English novelist Hilary Mantel has completed her trilogy about Thomas Cromwell and his relationship with King Henry VIII in “The Mirror and The Light”. I am in absolute awe of her vast achievement in this third and final novel, as I was of the first two novels, which both won the prestigious Booker […]
“little gods”, a debut novel by Meng Jin, is exceptionally fine; the author deeply understands aspects of Chinese culture in this novel about a woman physicist and her daughter, the former poised for greatness which she never achieves, and her somewhat bitter daughter, seeking her own identity (she’s American) and that of her missing father. […]
The combined January/February issue of Aeqai has just posted, and it’s a rich and full issue, covering art shows both regional, national, and international. When our writers travel, we usually ask them to look at significant shows around the nation/world so that our creative talent can see what’s up in other areas, and our heavy […]
“American Dirt”, the new and much anticipated novel by Jeanine Cummins, has caused a huge kerfluffle in leftist literary circles and amongst a number of writers of Mexican heritage, amongst others. The novel itself may be getting lost in the swirls of controversy. Cummins, who is a mostly white woman (her father was Puerto Rican), […]
A very good friend of mine recently observed that I probably read more than most people do; I’ve been a serious reader of mostly fiction since my junior year in high school way back in the ’60s. So when I claim that Niall Williams’ new novel “This Is Happiness” is the most beautiful novel I’ve […]
The December issue of Aeqai has just posted, and, holidays nothwithstanding, we have a full and rich issue for you. We have reviews from two museums this month; our lede article is by Jonathan Kamholtz, who analyzes the rich, elegiac work by a lesser known photographer, who’s from India, Sohrab Hura, who moseyed through the […]
2019 was an exceptionally fine year for new fiction. My list of the best fiction of this year was difficult to make, as so many excellent choices are available. In reading other such lists (“The New York Times Book Review”; “The New Yorker”, NPR, Amazon, amongst others), I noted that these lists have few novels […]
The November issue of Aeqai has just posted; we decided to put this issue up a week early, in order to avoid the demands and pleasures of the upcoming Thanksgiving weekend. We have a fascinating issue, reviews and essays of exhibitions both in this region and from Houston, Hydra (Greece), New York and LA. Our […]
Olive Kittredge, one of the most beloved–and feisty–characters in contemporary literature (the novel “Olive Kittredge” won The Pulitzer Prize) has returned in Elizabeth Strout’s new novel “Olive, Again”, and Strout’s older Olive is as compelling a character as she was in the original novel. Elizabeth Strout also happens to write perfect, flawless prose; her sentences […]
Ethiopian-born novelist Maaza Mengiste has just burst onto the literary scene with her magnificent novel “The Shadow King”. (An increasingly large number of African, and/or African-born writers, mostly women, are astonishing the literary world with their fiction; “The Old Drift”, by Namwali Serpell, is another example from 2019, surely to be on most everyone’s best […]
I’m learning that when “The New York Times Book Review” tells its readers that new books are experimental, or are breaking new boundaries in the structures of the work, or that the writers are breaking new ground in either short fiction (Zadie Smith’s new stories in “Union Station” or the novel itself (Ben Lerner’s “The […]
Two of the most sophisticated and beautifully written novels, both dealing with the dynamics of desire, sexuality, gender, and a strong emphasis on memory and time–appeared recently. “Find Me”, Andre Aciman’s sequel of sorts to his wildly successful “Call Me By Your Name” (which was also made into a much-praised movie), contains some of the […]
The October issue of Aeqai has just posted. It’s a very full issue, as the fall art season is now in full swing. The three major arts institutions in Cincinnati have all begun their seasons with superior shows. Jonathan Kamholtz reviews the recently opened exhibition of Hudson River Valley paintings from the exceptionally fine New […]
I almost stopped reading “Trust Exercise”, by Susan Choi, about a third of the way into the novel, and I cannot tell you how glad I am that I didn’t. It’s an amazingly clever and psychologically astute novel. The novel, purportedly written by a former student of a Performing Arts High School somewhere in The […]
“Night Boat to Tangier”, by Irish novelist Kevin Barry, is nothing short of magnificent. Two Irish-born men, Maurice and Charlie, now middle-aged or slightly older, find themselves in a somewhat sleazy port city in Spain, where they’re waiting/hoping to see Maurice’s long-lost daughter Dilly, who’d run away years back after her mother, Maurice’s wife, died […]
“Copperhead”, a new novel by Alexi Zentner, is essential reading in today’s politically overcharged era. Inventing a university clearly based upon Cornell, in upstate New York, where the author presumably teaches, “Copperhead” presents issues regarding race and class in ways different from the dynamics and dialectics we are used to reading or hearing about. And […]
The September issue of Aeqai has just posted. We’re in that twilight time when summer drags on and autumn’s holding out, as the art season will be revving up in full swing shortly. In the meantime, we’ve got stimulating columns for you, starting with Ekin Erkan’s incredibly important review of video work by Turkish artist […]
“The Nickel Boys” is Colson Whitehead’s follow-up novel to his much praised, Pulitzer-prize winning novel “The Underground Railroad”. Whitehead appears to have studied and researched the histories of African-Americans in this country, and his newest novel is based upon a kind of reformatory school near Tallahassee, Florida, a product of the Jim Crow South and […]
Tea Obreht’s second novel, “Inland” , may be even more phenomenal than her superb debut novel, “The Tiger’s Wife”. Both have appeared within 18 months or so, which, in and of itself, is amazing enough, both are long, sprawling, adventurous novels. “Inland” is one of this year’s best novels, as we head into the final […]
The reader’s response to Taffy Brodesser-Akner’s novel “Fleishman Is In Trouble”–which, amazingly, has been nominated for The National Book Award– is going to depend upon his or her age, demographic, education, ideology. There’s no doubt that the novel is exceptionally well written, as it purports to explore a very contemporary marriage, or its demise, told […]
The Summer issue of Aeqai has just posted. The summer’s brought us some stimulating art exhibitions, promising, too, an exciting fall season as the visual arts begin another season here. We’re also pleased to welcome two new writers, C.M. Turner and Josh Beckelhimer, who both have reviews in this issue and will continue with Aeqai […]
Elizabeth Gilbert, whose “Eat Pray Love” was both highly acclaimed and highly popular, has returned with a terrific new novel, “City of Girls”, surprising in scope, depth, and acuity. Partly an adventurous romp, this rite-of-passage novel about a nineteen year old, unfocused, seemingly spoiled upper middle class young women from small-town, Upstate New York becomes […]
Kathleen Alcott’s novel “When America Was Hard to Find” (the title comes from a poem made during the Vietnam war by Father Daniel Berrigan) is a tough, gritty novel that’s both riveting in plot and brilliantly written. Two sisters from a very affluent family have fled their controlled, controlling, upper-middle class background of privilege and […]
Cincinnati novelist John Young’s debut novel “When The Coin Is In The Air” is impressive. Written in simple narrative prose, without fuss or mannered writing, the novel is the story (possibly autobiographical) of a young man growing up on a farm in small town in Indiana, who will end up living in Boston in this […]
The June/July issue of Aeqai has just posted. We apologize for the delay this month; my pneumonia dragged on and on and I’ve had limited energy to work. But short though this issue is,we believe that it’s an important and stimulating one. We review two museum shows and one major arts center in Cincinnati this […]
Isabella Hammad’s “The Parisian”, is yet another debut novel this year of astonishing power and grace. Set partly in France and mostly in Palestine before the implementation of The Balfour Declaration, which created The State of Israel and presumably a Palestinian state, Hammad’s created, in her narrator Midhat Kamal, a truly memorable partly Baudelaireian Parisian […]
Ocean Vuong is a young Vietnamese-American, whose first collection of poetry was widely acclaimed, and whose first novel, “On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous”, deserves the same praise for this debut novel, which is often painfully moving, poignant, and often even raw. Written as a letter to his mother, whom he calls “Ma”, who also doesn’t […]
I wish I could figure out who the intended audience for Nell Freudenberger’s very bad novel “Lost and Wanted” is supposed to be, but am unable to do so. Perhaps it’s some kind of millennial fairy tale, quasi-feminist academic parable or diversity handbook or some such. Freudenberger has written several first rate novels to date, […]
The May issue of Aeqai has just posted. It’s a shorter, abridged issue this month; we’re only publishing those reviews that are from the Greater Cincinnati area, skipping our national correspondents/critics this month, since I’ve been laid up with pneumonia for over six weeks. But we’ve got some great columns/features/reviews this month, anyway. Chris Carter […]
A slew of great novels has appeared in the past two months, all long, and all first-rate. But first among equals is “The Old Drift”, a first novel by Zambian writer Namwali Serpell. Be prepared to read a masterpiece of incredible complexity, a family saga crossing four generations, in which the countries of both Zambia […]
“The Flight Portfolio”, by Julie Orringer, is another splendid, first-rate new novel, astonishing in its details and analysis of character and place. Based upon the real career of the American Varian Fry, a Harvard-educated man who forms the Emergency Rescue Committee in New York, whose mission was to help well-known artists and writers trapped by […]
The April issue of Aeqai has just posted. We bring a variety of reviews, one profile and one feature this month. Cincinnati-born, Brooklyn-based performance artist Rachel Rampelman’s work about gender, in particular, is reviewed this month by Annie Dell’Aria; the show’s at The Weston in downtown Cincinnati in The Aronoff Center. Dell’Aria examines three different […]
Since William Trevor’s death last year, American Amy Hempel is probably the finest writer of short stories anywhere in the world. Her new collection, “Sing to It”, is her first book in fourteen years, although the stories in it have been published in various magazines and journals elsewhere. For those of you enamored of incredible […]
Leila Aboulela’s new collection of short fiction, “Elsewhere, Home”, is another superb selection of short stories. The narrator of each story is generally a woman from Africa, mainly from The Sudan (I assume the writer herself was born there), and who is living in either London or Aberdeen (Scotland), either temporarily or permanently. Highly educated, […]
Nathan Englander moves into the front ranks of American fiction writers with his new novel, “kaddish.com“. Earlier books of short fiction and his last novel “Dinner at the Center of the Earth”manifest an enormous creative talent, a writer who can be extremely serious as well as sarcastic and funny. “kaddish.com” falls into the latter category; […]
The March issue of Aeqai has just posted. It’s replete with fascinating reviews and profiles, and for those of our readers particularly interested in the digital world and its effects on contemporary art, we offer three columns which specifically address some of those issues. Ekin Erkan provides two of those; he’ll be reviewing shows in […]
A new voice in fiction, at least for Americans, is that of Syrian writer Khaled Khalifa, whose new novel, “Death is Hard Work”, is both grimly humorous and deadly serious concurrently. Khalifa, who is still living in Damascus, sets this new novel right in the middle of the Syrian civil war. Three siblings, all grown […]
“Bowlaway”, by the hugely gifted novelist Elizabeth McCracken, is currently my Number l best novel of 2019 to date. Part fairy tale, part realism, “Bowlaway” exists in a world so finely delineated and created, and walks such a fine line between various genres, that you’ll be astonished at how quickly it seduces you and moves […]
The Winter (Jan./Feb.) issue of Aeqai has just posted. We bring twenty-two columns in this issue, rich with critical anaylsis, profiles of artists, and book reviews. The two museum shows this month are Jonathan Kamholtz’s exceptional review of modernist paintings from The Phillips Collection in Washington–and what a collection it is!–and Karen Chambers’ review of […]
Gay Liberation in America is generally thought to have begun with the Stonewall Inn protests in New York City’s Greenwich Village in 1969. Homosexuality was, at that time, still considered a psychiatric disease by the so-called helping professions in America, and gay and lesbian people marginalized to a kind of status of non-people, a hidden […]
Guy Gunaratne has written a powerful and important novel, “In Our Mad and Furious City”, which takes place in contemporary London, or those parts of it where new immigrants, almost all people of color, have been marginalized into wretched tower block housing. Gunaratne focuses his novel around the lives of a number of young men, […]
The English writer Tessa Hadley is rapidly becoming one of that country’s foremost fiction writers; her work in the past couple of years has expanded to include a wide American audience. At times, Hadley’s writing, which is completely magnificent, reminds me of the late, great Anita Brookner’s, who wrote perfect, flawless prose in an increasingly […]
The December issue of Aeqai has just posted. It’s a shorter issue, as less shows opened this month, and many of Aeqai’s writers are unavailable at this time of year. But we’ve still got some superb reviews and profiles for you. Jonathan Kamholtz has been reviewing paintings by Cole Carothers for Aeqai for awhile now; […]
2018 was an odd year for fiction; good and occasionally superior books appeared throughout the year, though it took some sleuthing to find them. Nothing dominates other than an ominous tendency towards overpraising novels that tend towards the politically correct. If you read other lists of best novels of the year, you’ll notice a […]
The November issue of Aeqai has just posted. We’d like to both thank and commend all of those at FotoFocus, who have offered all of us in the Greater Cincinnati area (and those in Lexington, Louisville, Dayton and Columbus, too), for an outstanding series of exhibitions in this biennial festival of photography. It’s been a […]
