Searching for Amyu Danzer

Meer over het boek

"On the afternoon of February 24th; 1965; Amylu Danzer; a twenty-year-old art student who'd been visiting Jones Beach on Long Island; went missing. A month later; her body was swept ashore some sixteen miles away; at Far Rockaway. In this tender; courageous; and compellingly written memoir; the writer and photographer John Rosenthal looks back on his youthful friendship with Amylu; and; drawing on multiple sources--amongst them his own journals; the testimony of her family and some of the people with whom she studied; newspaper reports of her death; and the eyewitness account of one of the men who found her body--he seeks to answer some of the questions which have haunted him ever since he first learned of her death--questions which were either too easily dismissed or else were too easily answered at the time. Searching for Amylu Danzer is a powerful and unillusioned book; and in writing it Rosenthal has ensured that however short her life was; Amylu Danzer will not be counted as one of those 'which have no memorial...and are become as though they have never been born'"-- Amazon
