Relation Supposing Books Exposure

Ann Rogers appears to be a happily married, successful young woman. A talented photographer, she creates happy memories for others, videotaping weddings, splicing together scenes of smiling faces, editing out awkward moments. But she cannot edit her own memories so easily; images of a childhood spent as her father's model and muse, the subject of his celebrated series of controversial photographs. To cope, Ann slips into a secret life of shame and vice. But when the Museum of Modern Art announces a retrospective of her father's shocking portraits, Ann finds herself teetering on the edge of self-destruction, desperately trying to escape the psychological maelstrom that threatens to consume her.

Discuss Based On Books Exposure
one of many books in my library originally picked up literally for its cover, exposure turns out to be quite a satisfying erotic thriller as well, plus an interesting meditation on fame, sex, and the limits of voyeurism. the story of a famed controversial photographer who made a career out of compromising images of his daughter, the book mostly takes place with the daughter now a grown-up kleptomaniac and sexual deviant, dealing with an upcoming retrospective of her father's work that threatens

This book is traumatizing and haunting. A girl's father tackles themes of death and sex as he photographs her in questionable poses. As an adult, she tries to understand and come to terms with her father and his art.

Harrison's writing style is descriptive, entertaining and easy to read. I always find myself wishing for some darkly despairing bit of truth, which I've been led to believe her writing contains but have never actually felt. I'm left with a "yeah, and?" sort of feeling, but not one strong enough to wish for more from her.

When I was a kid, my parents would tell me "That book is a little too adult for you." Well, I always took that to mean the sex scenes, the violence, or even the story. Well, Exposure is an adult book for very different reasons. Ms. Harrison obviously has a love affair with her thesaurus, which is fine. I get it. But, the whole plot just plods along at a snail's pace. It's as intriguing as a slow-motion mosh pit, in that you wonder what's going to happen next, but it's wildly predictable after

I learned that just because a book makes it on a list of best sellers (NY Times, Kindle, etc) it is not good. Dialogue and scene descriptions I felt were sophomoric. That causes the reader to skim looking only for plot line stuff. The overall plot was good: Two crime-like stories are told (1 or 2 chapters for one, then back to the other, etc). Not until about 75% through the book are the stories connected. The heart of the story is a $6 million bank heist. Throw in a woman scared of her own

this book had all the elements of a nice-enough literary work, but it's topic (child soft pornography and it's effect on the model when she comes of age) is a bit uncomfortable at best, perverse at worst. you could stage a culture war around this book over whether this book is art or pornography.if you love this book, you'll love 'the unbearable lightness of being.' and if you loved both those movies, you probably need counseling.

A good read, this novel. Exposure tells the story of the daughter of a noted photographer, taking her from early childhood as Daddy's model, to life after Father has died, and on into her own career as a videographer doing the wedding circuit. Ann Rogers is a mess as humans go. Secrets and undiscovered sins feed the woman's behaviour--including an addiction to meth, strong kleptomaniac tendencies, and strange actions that are cringe-worthy at times. We get to the bottom of her dysfunction, but
