Description: "In Artificial Light: A Narrative Inquiry into the Nature of Abstraction, Immediacy, and other Architectural Fictions, Keith Mitnick - himself an architect and teacher - presents a startlingly vivid personal memoir. Inexorably linked to his highly developed awareness of his surroundings - be they the family living room, the amusement park, a porno set, or the site of a prison execution - Mitnick's observations reveal his past in engrossing detail. By exploiting the literary conventions of the genre, he crafts an intimate narrative of repressed childhood anger, adolescent rebellion, and thoughtful reflection."--Jacket.
