Pictures at an Execution An Inquiry into the Subject of Murder

"What's most engaging about 'Pictures at an Execution' is the way in which Lesser's intense involvement with her subject is mediated by a cool rationality that militates against sentimentality, cant, and disingenuousness. It's bracing to watch an active moral intelligence at work, ready to question anything, including the writer's own motives...We can read the book with pleasure, interest, and admiration."Lesser, Wendy is the author of 'Pictures at an Execution An Inquiry into the Subject of Murder' with ISBN 9780756761967 and ISBN 0756761964.
