3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Exquisite.By joseph berryI must preface this with a disclaimer: Marisa was a student of mine several years ago and I saw this project in its early stages. I am in awe of the final outcome. The book is hauntingly beautiful. Each images speaks volumes about the passage of time. What is remarkable is how Marisa has managed at once to be elegaic and yet celebratory; to evoke the sounds and crowds of the past and also the silent and desolate present. I heartily recommend this book to anyone interested in the power of ruins; memory; and nostalgia. It's an American equivalent of Piranesi's engravings of the glories of ancient Rome and Nabokov's lyric "Speak Memory"All week I've kept it beside me on my desk so that I can wander; repeatedly; though it; thankful for the pleasures of the images and the three essays; Marisa's most particularly. I plan to share it with the class I teach on memory.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. collapsing still life photos of what were once laughter-filled family and romantic palaces of good times; this book is a compellBy CustomerI should have paid closer attention to the cover as this book is entirely depressing. If you hold fond memories of the heydays of the Borscht Belt; this is not for you. Fading; pealing; collapsing still life photos of what were once laughter-filled family and romantic palaces of good times; this book is a compelling but sad reminder of days long past. Photos are exceptional; printing quality good; but the mood is likely going to send you scrambling for a Xanax.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Borscht BeltBy S.
