Picture Time

Deauville, 1928 and these two fine fellows are obviously done up for a special occasion. Perhaps it's somebody's birthday party, or maybe they are just off for a big adventure in their parents' garden.

But wait. Just look at the one on the right with the thoughtful expression. There's a face which seems to be saying "Oh hurry up and get on with it! I want to get back to that interesting book by Monsieur Bergson, as I don't think I've quite got this business about the virtual off pat yet."

My thanks go to Infinite Thought for sending me a volume I would never have guessed would ever see the light of day: Deleuze, un album, a collection of photographs of our Gilles throughout his life. Bizarre or what? Coming next to a bookshop near you: Michel Foucault: The S&M Collection.
