This was disappointingly just ok at 3🌟 from me. It's about decidedly difficult issues of war, colonisation, urban decay and social injustice, but it all felt so distant, dissociated and cold. Harvey came over to me as a tourist: detached and observing the spectacle. She hasn't appeared that way in interviews I've seen, so I was expecting something with more heart.
A few of Murphy's photographs are spectacular, but, again, overall left me rather cold.

loooove polly jean
of course. obsessed with her, even, and read/listened to/watched every single pj thing I could get my filthy paws on over decades so naturally, read this. only giving it 3 stars because I need to reread it. I understood only about 1/5 of what I was reading, but quite quite enjoyable (again, naturally)…

I love you, PJ. I do. But your words are best set to music. Seamus Murphy had some good photos.
