Recollections from the members of "the artist's circle" are interwoven with period art reviews,
Leiter's poetry - published here for the first time - and predominantly, Saul's voice - his aphorisms and personal narrative distilled from more than 130,000 words of transcription of lectures and interviews -
Saul's candid reflections on work and life.

"Some people think there is a correlation between your sanity and your creativity.
I have not taken that as seriously as some."

- Saul Leiter

The book's epilogue is taken in its entirety from Michael Torosian's conversation
with Saul Leiter of August 1, 2013.
The artist's last interview.
