Over two days, McCartney would stay with her subject, Phyllis Wang, a New York-born stand-up comedian, at Wang's Saint-Germain apartment, photographing her in the nude.

Laid out sequentially, the photographs show the model increasingly relax in front of the camera over the course of the shoot; Wang assumes various poses and adopts various props, and an unspoken bond gradually develops between the two women. Inviting the reader into the session's humor and intimacy, the publication features Wang and McCartney's annotations alongside the photographs, each giving their own candid account of the two days.

"Through the lens of medieval preaching, as well as the responses of those who heard the sermons preached, Katherine Jansen brings to light previously unpublished sermons to show how and why the mendicant friars transformed Mary Magdalen, a shadowy gospel figure, into an emblem of action and contemplation, a symbol of vanity and lust, a mode...
