Publisher's Summary:
Staff writer and film critic for The New Yorker David Denby, and artist, photographer, and writer Rosemond Purcell on this edition of Fresh Air. Denby's new book, American Sucker, is a memoir about his brief obsession with the stock market during the height of irrational exuberance in 2000-2001. It started with his wife's announcement that she was leaving him. Denby began an attempt to make a million dollars so that he could buy out his wife's share of their New York apartment.
Rosemond Purcell has been called the "doyenne of decay" by sleight-of-hand artist Ricky Jay. Purcell photographed the decaying dice in his recent collection Dice: Deception, Fate, and Rotten Luck. Purcell's new book, Owls Head, is about her 20-year friendship with William Buckminster, an eccentric collector whose dilapidated antiques shop and 11-acre junkyard in Maine became something of a tourist attraction. Buckminster sold many of his items to Purcell who took them home and photographed them in large-format Polaroids. She's also collaborated three times on books with the late paleontologist and science historian Stephen Jay Gould. (Broadcast Date: February 2, 2004)
