"An Emergency in Slow Motion: The Inner Life of Diane Arbus. By William Todd Schultz. Bloomsbury; 235 pages; $25. To be published in Britain in October; £18.99. Buy from Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk"

"An exhibition of Diane Arbus’s photographs will be held at the Jeu de Paume, Paris, from October 18th to February 5th 2012, and then travel to Zurich, Berlin and Amsterdam"
 
What an amazing photographer and individual she was ... I love her images though many are quite uncomfortable to look at. That she managed to instill hew own sense of angst into her art was really something and I've always been attracted to photographers that can do this. Our late RFF member Richard Jenkinson (pitxu) did this frequently with many images IMO.
