Thanks to all for the deep philosophical discussions on our last selection, Guy Tal's "Another Day Not Wasted". Now that we are all caught up on how Nietzsche and Kant can improve our photographs, let's move on to the next selection.

The next selection is "Josef Koudelka **Next"** by **Melissa Harris**. This is a new biography of the Magnum photographer Josef Koudelka. It is available directly from Aperture or from most online book stores including Amazon. There is no eBook and it is not available in the BCCLS.

**From the Publisher (Aperture**)
**The definitive and only authorized biography of Josef Koudelka—an intimate portrait of the life and work of one of photography’s most renowned and celebrated artists.** Throughout his more than sixty-year-long obsession with the medium, Josef Koudelka considers a remarkable range of photographic subjects—from his early theater work, to his seminal project on the Roma and his legendary coverage of the 1968 Soviet invasion of Prague, to the solitariness of exile and the often-devastating impact humans have had on the landscape. *Josef Koudelka: Next* embraces all of Koudelka’s projects and his evolution as an artist in the context of his life story and working process. Based on hundreds of hours of interviews conducted over the course of almost a decade with Koudelka—as well as ongoing conversations with his friends, family, colleagues, and collaborators worldwide—this deftly told, richly illustrated biography offers an unprecedented glimpse into the mind of this notoriously private photographer. Writer, editor, and curator Melissa Harris has independently crafted a unique, in-depth, and revelatory personal history of both the man and his photography. *Josef Koudelka: Next* is richly illustrated with hundreds of photographs, including many biographical and behind-the-scenes images from Koudelka’s life, as well as iconic images from his work, from the 1950s to the present. The visual presentation is conceived in collaboration with Koudelka himself, as well as his longtime collaborator, Czech designer Aleš Najbrt. Copublished by Aperture and Magnum Foundation
