No one reads Zora the Unvanquished. 

Photograph by Ken Russell titled “We Regret to Inform You,” 1955, copyright Ken Russell/TopFoto.

From The Guardian: “This image is taken from a series called Zora the Unvanquished, taken of 72-year-old Zora Raeburn who wrote novels and sent them to publishers for 30 years, with no acceptances – she is pictured here with a montage of her rejection letters.”

Part of the exhibit Reality is a Dirty Word: Photographs by Ken Russell at Proud Galleries, Chelsea, 1 December - 3 January. via
