...curiosity about Michelle - a product of Chicago's South Side, an outspoken Harvard-educated lawyer and a mother of two - has been at a fever pitch since her husband announced his candidacy. It seems an apt time for a biography of Michelle, from her childhood in her family's bungalow on Euclid Avenue to the current campaign, just weeks from its conclusion. Washington Post staffer Liza Mundy offers a rundown of Michelle's life...
Were your friends shocked that you were doing this? The funniest dialogue came from the Catskills, where I had been working as a waiter for so many years of my life.

The most striking photograph in Robson's book shows the candlelit open-air restaurant of Collure's hotel sublimely canopied by a jumbo black boulder. Mok's Morley Road House (Singapore, 1996) blends ancient Chinese garden designs - a koi pond, bamboo hedges - with sharp Modernist forms while blurring inside/outside spatial distinctions. Just so, Bawa's naturally ventilated Ena de Silva...
