Combat Camera
by A.J. Somerset
Mentally and physically wounded after years of covering wars, photographer Lucas Zane, the main character in A.J. Somerset’s debut novel (winner of the 2010 Metcalf-Rooke Award for an unpublished manuscript), finds himself down and out in Toronto. He lands a job taking photos for a pornographer, a gig that leads him to witness horrors of another kind. While in the studio, he meets Melissa, a young stripper whose life is careening off track. Zane needs a subject and Melissa needs a father figure, and the two form an odd partnership that takes them to Vancouver.
Somerset, who has worked as a soldier, journalist, and freelance photographer, seems well versed in his subject matter. The book is filled with vivid descriptions of light and even provides a good practical lesson on developing a roll of film in a bathtub, which is sure to thrill anyone with a penchant for the pre-digital days.
