Product Description
The images in this book are of murder sites. They are about absence: whats not there, what has happened there, what might still happen there, what lies just around the corner, over the horizon, on the other side of the road. They are about possibility, loss, death, pain, passion, and they are also about hope. The interviews that accompany them are personal accountsmemories, thoughts, and feelings about the six journalists who lost their lives in these placesfrom those who knew them, worked with them, loved them, admired them, and needed them.The six murders addressed here are, unfortunately, a very small representation of the multitude of journalistsnot only in Russia, but worldwidewho have had their lives taken from them for what they believe in and whose cases remain unsolved. These few speak for many. Alix Lambert's feature length documentary "The Mark of Cain" was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award and aired on Nightline. As an artist Lambert has exhibited her work to international critical acclaim, showing in The Venice Biennale, The Museum of Modern Art, The Georges Pompidou Center, and the Kwangju Biennnale, currently she is exhibiting at the SculptureCenter in New York.Bilingual: Russian-English, Hardcover: synthetic leather over board, ISBN 978-0-9763009-6-0, 108pp, 6.25" W x 9.25" H$35

Fascinating and enlightening April 9, 2008

This book opened my eyes to a number of things that I didn't realize were going on in any part of the world. The pictures held an emotional presence in the book that can barely be described in words. They add a hauntingly real feeling to the stories that can't be denied. And the writing flowed with a smoothness that captured me immediately. The combination of the writing style with the pictures was superbly done, giving the whole experience a very poignant feel.
This is an excellent book, and should be read by any one who believes in the fundamental right of all people to write about, read about, or just know the truth.
