Peter Hujar’s fame, Max Norman writes in his October column, finally “seems to have caught up with that of his subjects.” What would our narrative about the history of American photography look like if it hadn’t taken so long? newsletter.thedriftmag.com/p…

On the short list of my favorite Ashbery poems. He must really have been riding some high when he got to those lines about the segments of the orange.
