Author Description

"The photographer Richard Avedon and the writer Doon Arbus began collaborating on this book thirty years ago. The photographs and interviews they did then remain faithful to what was, like the contents of a time capsule."--BOOK JACKET. "The connection between all the rhetoric and all the poetry, between the words of a Black Panther and those of a rock star or pacifist, between the scars of a pop artist and those of a napalm victim, have haunted and informed the structuring of this book, with its own peculiar version of a beginning, a middle, and an end."--BOOK JACKET.
