Memories of Mao
Fear, Loss & Desire
by Neil Yeszin, 80 pages, 10 x 8, hardbound with dust jacket
$50 plus shipping
Who was Neil Yeszin? Neil was our crazy buddy, predictably unpredictable, stubborn, annoying, generous, appearing and disappearing across the years, making memories together across the years, but not really memories of Mao, although that was the title of a book we always talked about, never too seriously, no, just “Hold the Mao!” and why not? Hold what? Hold on, hold onto whatever was there, whatever was left after Neil left, wool beret with a red star, turtleneck pulled up over his chin, toasted bagel and a perfect brown cup of cappuccino every morning, photos on the wall, more prints in glassine envelopes, fiber mailing boxes, oak flat file full of treasures, black cigar-box collages, Leicas long gone, gifts given and received, and these photos, this book waiting to happen, waiting to be shared.
