Janet Malcolm on Burdock

In an earlier post, I referred to an article titled "Burdock" by Janet Malcolm, in which she discussed spending three summers photographing burdock leaves. I made the observation that "it's hard to imagine there's a huge market for pictures of burdock leaves." Well, darned if I haven't just shelled out 40 bucks for a book of pictures of Burdock leaves by Ms. Malcolm. I'm looking forward to its arrival from Amazon any day now.
