Hardcover. Paper pastedown. Condizione: Like New. First Edition. Showcasing the work of this most painter-ly of portrait photographers, who specialized particularly in portraits of children. Not for Lux the saccharine juvenile portrait, though. Her take is in line with Surrealism, and the crisply sharp photos show children that look as if they could have been from "The Village of the Damned". The enigmatic quality of the portrayals suggests an intelligence, secrets, an emotional depth, perhaps. The images are ones that linger in the mind! 4to. 28.5 by 25 cm. 95, [1] pp. With promo for Aperture magazine that was inserted loosely into the book when first for sale.…

Francine Prose (born April 1, 1947) is an American novelist, short story writer, essayist, and critic. She is a Visiting Professor of Literature at Bard College, and was formerly president of PEN American Center. Prose graduated from Radcliffe College in 1968. She received the PEN Translation Prize in 1988 and received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1991. Prose's novel The Glorious Ones has been adapted into a musical with the same title by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty. In March 2007, Prose was chosen to succeed American writer Ron Chernow beginning in April to serve a one-year term as president of PEN American Center, a New York City-based literary society of writers, editors and translators that works to advance literature, defend free expression, and foster international literary fellowship. Her novel, Blue Angel, a satire about sexual harassment on college campuses, was a finalist for the National Book Award. One of her novels, Household Saints, was adapted for a movie by Nancy Savoca. Prose received the Rome Prize in 2006. In 2010, Prose received the Washington University International Humanities Medal. The medal, awarded biennially and accompanied by a cash prize of $25,000, is given to honor a person whose humanistic endeavors in scholarship, journalism, literature, or the arts have made a difference in the world. Francine Prose has a knack for getting to the heart of human nature. . . . We are allowed to enter the moral dilemmas of fascinating characters whose emotional lives are strung out by the same human frailties, secrets and insecurities we all share. --USA Today One spring afternoon, Vincent Nolan, a young neo-Nazi walks into the office of a human rights foundation headed by Meyer Maslow, a charismatic Holocaust survivor. Vincent announces that he wants to make a radical change. But what is Maslow to make of this rough-looking stranger with Waffen SS tattoos who says that his mission is to save guys like him from becoming guys like him? As Vincent gradually turns into the sort of person who might actually be able to do that, he also begins to transform everyone around him, including Maslow himself. Masterfully plotted, darkly comic, A Changed Man poses essential questions about human nature, morality, and the capacity for change, illuminating the everyday transactions, both political and personal, in our lives. This novel captures America at its most hilarious and dreadful. Here are characters as richly drawn as any in our fiction to date. And here is a work filled with such keen detail and emotional resonance that every page is a revelation. Francine Prose is one of a handful of truly indispensable American writers. At once funny, scary, and profound, this novel offers a remarkable understanding of some of the darker recesses of human character--and it manages to convince you that people who are merely pretending to be brave sometimes actually are. This is one of Francine Prose's best books. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated]. Marion Ettlinger (Author photograph) (illustratore).…
