RAISED BY WOLVES

Descripción

Softback. Pictorial covers. 320 pages, with numerous b/w photographs throughout. Very lightly rubbed at edges of covers and corner tips, really minimal though. A near fine copy. A century after photographer Jacob Riis published 'How the Other Half Lives: Studies among the Tenements of New York', a harrowing portrait of urban poverty, Jim Goldberg took to the streets of Los Angeles and San Francisco where he met a cadre of homeless children fending for themselves. Over a period of ten years, roughly 1985 to 1995, Goldberg witnessed the chaotic reality of street life to create 'Raised by Wolves', a collection of intimate photographs, snippets of conversation, handwritten notes, drawings, snapshots, and the detritus of daily life, which the Washington Post called, "A heartbreaking novel with pictures." The protagonists, Tweaky Dave and Echo, were charismatic but troubled youths, whose personalities, histories, and dreams leap from the page and grab you by the throat. Goldberg found a way inside a band of outsiders whose existence has been alternately vilified, marginalized, or erased, and restored to them a humanity that had been stripped by addiction, violence, and abuse. Many of the photographs depict these kids shooting up, making out begging in the street or just freaking out generally. N° de ref. del artículo 18497
