I am not sure what to make of Hiag Akmakjian's 30,000 Mornings. As I was reading through most of the book, I could not tell what its aim was. It felt as if I was following Inge (the Finnish model-and-photographer) getting lost in her wanderings through New York and trying to understand what happened to Karen, her friend who vanished from New York without explanation. Parts of the book were strangely pulling though - you can't help but feel Inge's confusion.
Just a random aside - the book gave me what must be the longest name of a place. Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobllllantysiliogogogoch. Try saying that quickly! :) It's a Welsh town on the island of Anglesey. The name translated into English means "Saint Mary's Church in the hollow of the white hazel near a rapid whirlpool and the Church of St. Tysilio of the red cave."
If you think that's bad, whilst finding out what Llanfair means, I found out that there's a village in Thailand called Krungthepmahanakornamornratanakosinmahintarayutthayamahadilokphop
