Richly illustrated with colour plates. *** "Take an Elvis impersonator, a Ben Franklin look-a-like and a circus animal trainer and what do you get? Just a few of the colorfully entertaining portraits created by one of America's favorite photographers and humorists, David Graham, in Land of the Free: What Makes Americans Different. A tireless traveler and a natural-born storyteller, Graham has photographed ordinary folks in their homes, at work, and at play across the nation--from his native Pennsylvania to New Mexico, and many places in between. Circus trainers, farmers, fishermen, and folks on vacation all captured on film, and all capturing the vibrant essence of being unique. Accompanied by the wry insights of National Public Radio commentator and author Andrei Codrescu, Land of the Free showcases the figures that give America its character--from the amusing portraits of celebrity look-a-likes Bette Davis, Marilyn Monroe, and Elvis--to the stately poses of historical legends Ben Franklin, Christopher Columbus, and George Washington--to the lively real-life characters in-between. / David Graham lives with his wife and daughters in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. A solo exhibition of his work will be presented in the fall of 1999 at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Philadelphia." - Publisher. Size: 4to. Collectible.

Hardcover. Etat : As New. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. First Edition. Andrei Codrescu, the inimitable NPR commentator and poet, decided to travel the United States of America in search of its wonderful excesses and ironies. He bought a cherry red '68 Cadillac convertible and drove from sultry New Orleans to old haunts in New York's East Village; from utopian communities in upstate New York to the urban ruins of Detroit; from the thriving commercial kindom of Chicago to the New Age and Native American patchworks of New Mexico; from the gaudy wonderland of Las Vegas to the spiritual center of San Francisco. Codrescu's witty and poignant perceptions are always informed by recollections of his unusual upbringing in Stalinist Romania and his experiences of the changes in America from the revolutionary 1960s to the 1990s. Andrei's odyssey is illustrated throughout with photographs by David Graham, who translates the sometimes absurd realities of contemporary American culture into unforgettably iconic works of art. Funny, moving and challenging, ROAD SCHOLAR provides an entirely new perspective on the vast and varied contemporary American experience.
