One Week in January: New Paintings for an Old Diary

"One Week in January is a minute-by-minute oral history of a pivotal moment in time--before the internet took over and everything still felt possible. On top of an oral history, Carson created a visual one, too. Her gorgeous gouache paintings are like fuzzy, high-contrast snapshots from her memory, but they might as well be mine. And yours. And anyone who was ever 20-something and dreamed of a life making things, falling in love, and living a full, creative life. Little did we know that is exactly what we were doing then. Maybe we are still doing it now."

--Wendy MacNaughton, New York Times-bestselling illustrator of Salt Fat Acid Heat
