On a wintry night in February 1989, 22-year-old Deborah Copaken Kogan is the lone female among a group of Afghan freedom fighters riding through the Hindu Kush mountains. ' In my lap, hopping atop my thighs as the truck lurches, as my body shivers, sits a sturdy canvas Domke bag filled with Nikons & Kodachrome film, which I'm hoping to use to photograph the pull-out of the Soviet troops from Afghanistan. Actually, I have no idea how to photograph a Soviet pull-out. Though this is my second story as a professional photojournalist, I'm still not clear on what it is photojournalists actually do in a real war.' What follows is the hilarious & winning memoir of a young woman finding & fighting her way through the war zones of the world. It is a thrilling coming-of-age story, told with humour & uncommon wisdom, about how one woman fought her way on to battlefields, & the danger, pain, truths & love she discovered there. ...

Joris has lived with his aunt & uncle in a village since his early childhood; his father died young & his mother moved to Spain. He is a quiet & introverted child who, his relatives fear, resents the loss of his parents deeply. The gentle rhythm of life, however, is about to be disturbed, awakening in Joris charged memories of his dead father.

With the past swathed in obscurity & rumours circulating about his parents, Joris feels insecure & vulnerable & his attempts to reconstruct his family history from photos are continually frustrated. On one occasion the village teacher, an amateur filmmaker who records local events & celebrations, accidentally threads a film into the projector backwards. So Joris is offered a rare glimpse of his father only to see him disappearing backwards into the past. As Joris grows up & his aunt & uncle age, the end of his youth approaches, as does a definitive confrontation with his father.

In a style marked by extraordinary elegance & subtlety, Erwin Mortier brings a lost world back to life. Shutterspeed is an enchanting novel which evokes all the mystery, wonder & confusions of childhood.
