RITA FAEZ . DARYA MALEVYCH . LAUREN

Volume 180: Two Islands and a Long Goodbye

Bali does something to a shoot. Glen Krohn found it in a villa that looks carved out of salt, where Rita Faez spends the afternoon between the pool and the shade and never once seems in a hurry. Somebody put a papaya on the ledge. Somebody poured a drink. That is the whole plot and it is more than enough. Across the island, Jade Piper walked our new muse Darya Malevych out onto a stretch of sandstone coast at the worst possible hour for light and made it the best possible hour. Hard sun, black shadow, red against stone. It is a debut that plays like a third act. Then Hollywood, in black and white, where Jessee B and Lauren close a chapter that has been running longer than most. Window light, an unmade bed, steam on the glass. 160+ pages. Take your time with it.
