The Short Goodbye is a short book by Lisa Rappoport, more or less a found book: Each sentence in it was found and borrowed from The Long(er) Goodbye. Chronological sequence has been preserved within each page. The type is handset Glamour Light, with noirish moments of Shadow, plus Centaur & Arrighi here. ... The photographs were shot by myself with the generous collaboration of the models, Will Shumway and Gene Tierney. Speaking of shooting, Mark Schacht used a 9mm pistol to fill the covers full of daylight."
