Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 283
Book Description
Bestselling author Marisa Silver takes Dorothea Lange’s Migrant Mother photograph as inspiration for a story of two women—one famous and one forgotten—and their remarkable chance encounter. In 1936, a young mother resting by the side of the road in central California is spontaneously photographed by a woman documenting migrant laborers in search of work. Few personal details are exchanged and neither woman has any way of knowing that they have produced one of the most iconic images of the Great Depression. In present day, Walker Dodge, a professor of cultural history, stumbles upon a family secret embedded in the now-famous picture. In luminous prose, Silver creates an extraordinary tale from a brief event in history and its repercussions throughout the decades that follow—a reminder that a great photograph captures the essence of a moment yet only scratches the surface of a life.

Nightmare Alley
Author: William Lindsay Gresham
Publisher: New York Review of Books
ISBN: 1590174283
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
Soon to be a major motion picture from Academy Award–winning director Guillermo del Toro and starring Bradley Cooper, Cate Blanchett, Rooney Mara, and Toni Collette. Nightmare Alley begins with an extraordinary description of a carnival-show geek—alcoholic and abject and the object of the voyeuristic crowd’s gleeful disgust and derision—going about his work at a county fair. Young Stan Carlisle is working as a carny, and he wonders how a man could fall so low. There’s no way in hell, he vows, that anything like that will ever happen to him. And since Stan is clever and ambitious and not without a useful streak of ruthlessness, soon enough he’s going places. Onstage he plays the mentalist with a cute assistant (before long his harried wife), then he graduates to full-blown spiritualist, catering to the needs of the rich and gullible in their well-upholstered homes. It looks like the world is Stan’s for the taking. At least for now.

Palm Desert
Author: Rudy VanderLans
Publisher: Emigre Incorporated
ISBN:
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 100
Book Description
This book grew out of a simple packaging design for an audio CD. It is a tribute to a near mythical figure in the world of American music, Van Dyke Parks, whose prolific career produced six solo albums, numerous movie scores, children's books and uncounted credits as a session musician, lyricist, producer and arranger. In 1998 Rudy VanderLans took a trip to Palm Desert where Van Dyke Parks is said to have written most of the material for his legendary 1968 album, Song Cycle. The trip resulted in hundreds of photographs which Rudy VanderLans says were inspired as much by this remarkable musician's lyrics as by his own impressions. The 68 images published strive to echo Van Dyke's creative approach of blending classical, historical, vernacular, experimental, political and experiential themes.
