Purple Years

Edition limited to 250 numbered copies,
2009

Jeff Rian, an art critic and musician living in Paris since 1995, wrote most of these essays for Purple Magazine. They are reedited here as a collection of thoughts on America’s recent past, the near future of Europe, and familiar clichés like carry bags, laundry, eating, travel, petty crime, collecting, handouts, ambition, evolution, and survival.
