RICHARD AVEDON, JAMES BALDWIN. NOTHING PERSONAL

This meticulous reprint of Richard Avedon and James Baldwin's searing monograph, Nothing Personal, explores the contradictions at the heart of American experience, juxtaposing subjects from Marilyn Monroe and Allen Ginsberg to mental asylum patients and the American Nazi party. A 72-page booklet features outtakes, correspondence, ephemera, and an essay by Pulitzer Prize winner Hilton Als. "If a society permits one portion of its citizenry to be menaced or destroyed,... no one in that society is safe. The forces thus released in the people can never be held in check, but run their devouring course." -- James Baldwin, Nothing Personal
