Description
Blind Date with the Angel is a poetic tribute to the life and work of photographer Diane Arbus. Using language that is often as visceral and stark as the photographer’s famous images, Guppy invites the reader to explore the implications of replicating the human image and the impact of Arbus’ work on her subjects.
