...scope of its research, especially the extensive interviews with the photographer's friends. Bosworth's biography does not go far enough in filling in the person where there now stands a myth. The author, it seems., cannot get beyond seeing Arbus as a person who liked gutsy challenges and reveal her as someone unable to face reality. Thirteen years after her death the myth of Diane Aubus has ripened.

Editor Barry Menikoff, a professor of English at the University of Hawaii, promises to reveal plenty of melodrama and skulduggery: "A story of stylistic abuse by printers and proofreaders, of literary abuse by publishers, editors, and friends, and finally of the abuse of art by Stevenson himself in sanctioning the publication of a corrupt text...
