![]() Salvage the Bones does not want for foreshadowing, to be sure. There is a tendency in ‘disaster fiction’ to give the bulk of the narrative over to foreshadowing: to point every action toward the event to render a setting only that it might be struck down to cast every character as either a villain or a victim. Salvage the Bones is set in the days before Hurricane Katrina on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi in the poor, largely black, rural town of Bois Sauvage. In any other novel, just one of their stories would spill over the sides of the page. Randall and Junior, Esch’s oldest and youngest brothers, are more distant, but no less alive, and no less real. ![]() While hiding her pregnancy from him, Esch helps Skeetah try to save the pups. Skeetah keeps a fighting pit-bull named China, who is the new mother of a weak litter which quickly begins to die off. ![]()

Most of Vivian Maier’s pictures offer us a view into 1950s and 1970s street life in New York and Chicago-and in India, Indonesia, Yemen, and Egypt during her trips abroad. Where can we take inspiration from her for our own street photography? She took over 120,000 pictures and left more than 2,000 roll films behind her-and never showed them to anyone.
