(Skrdla) is investigating the architecture of "forgetting," in the present tense, confronting us with the "ruins" our way of life seems bound to produce.... There's a wonderful photograph shot from an upper floor of the abandoned Hudson's building, before it was imploded--a view that none but "ghosts" will ever look out upon again. The effect is meditative and fine; the book will appeal to anybody acquainted with the pleasures of the unseen.
