Overall, I enjoyed the novel. The premise of the story, that our 'personal information' is too public, is very relevant to modern times. And the main characters are fleshed out and interesting. On the downside, the middle of the story moves rather slowly, but this is a minor quibble. But has it ever occurred to you – even once – that perhaps it is we ourselves who are being minutely observed? And not with the innocent, idle curiosity that motivates our own secret scrutiny, but with psychotic, intense focus. But I See/You Mean has been virtually unavailable for decades. In 2013, I happened upon a copy in Printed Matter, the artists’ bookstore then on 10th Avenue that Lippard herself founded in 1976 in Tribeca, before it moved to Chelsea. I have not seen another copy since, nor have I knowingly encountered another reader of the book. Few libraries list it among their holdings, and sometimes I have wondered if the book in my possession actually exists. Zoe's only moments of relaxation seem to be with her friend and neighbor Melissa, who's always good for a conversation and a cuppa. Think about all the people being watched-- especially women. Normal every day women going about business as if they are invisible to the greater world at large.

Zoe Walker is a victim of routine, as so many of us are, taking the same commute daily to and from work. She sees a photo in the classified section of a newspaper while on the train and recognizes the picture to be her own, even though she can’t place exactly when it was taken. As the novel proceeds Zoe is increasingly sure that she is in harm’s way and reports her suspicions to the police and her family and friends. Here begins my disbelief in the character. Although she suspects danger, she doesn’t do anything to change her routine or protect herself. I’m sure it’s not a body. Bodies are for Monday mornings, not Friday evenings, when work is a blissful three days away. OK.. here goes... I chose this book to read with my online bookclub because it sounded fab and was only 99p.
