Robert Frank never did say very much and there is not a single word
by him in 'The Americans'. Jonathan Day in this book has expertly
taken over as Frank's narrator [...] As Jack Kerouac says in his
introduction to 'The Americans', 'to Robert Frank I now give this
message: you got eyes'. And now we have the words.
