I liked the article a lot. like the detail, forgive me, that she slit her wrists in the bathtub DRESSED. I always had a marat sade image of a naked body in my mind. And the detail that, shades of ted hughes and sylvia plath, the last two pages of her diary had been neatly cut away and apparently destroyed. by whom???? And I had no idea Doon, her daughter, was 26 when Diane died. I had thought younger and had a different scenario in my head. And I think it is a reason to rejoice that her estate has FINALLY after thirty years opened up her archive. As the article reported, the Arbus Trust wdn't let anyone reprint her work w/o approving the accompanying text, wdn't let scholars see any unpublished material. I think the new book and show will be amazing.

did frank influence faurer or did faurer influence frank. they knew eachother and might even have shared an apt. i don't know for sure.

count me in too. it wd be so helpful.elsa dorfman
