An incisive biography of the prolific photo-essayist W. Eugene Smith
Famously unabashed, W. Eugene Smith was photography's most celebrated humanist. As a photo essayist at Life magazine in the 1940s and '50s, he established himself as an intimate chronicler of human culture. His photographs of war and disaster, villages and metropolises, doctors and midwives, revolutionized the role of images in journalism, transforming photography for decades to come. When Smith died in 1978, he left behind eighteen dollars in the bank and forty-four thousand pounds of archives. He was only fifty-nine, but he was flat worn-out. His death certificate read "stroke," but, as was said of the immortal jazzman Charlie Parker, Smith died of "everything," from drug and alcohol benders to weeklong work sessions with no sleep. Lured by the intoxicating trail of people that emerged from Smith's stupefying archive, Sam Stephenson began a quest to trace his footsteps. In Gene Smith's Sink, Stephenson merges traditional biography with rhythmic digressions to revive Smith's life and legacy. Traveling across twenty-nine states, Japan, and the Pacific, Stephenson profiles a lively cast of characters, including the playwright Tennessee Williams, to whom Smith likened himself; the avant-garde filmmaker Stan Brakhage, with whom he once shared a Swiss chalet; the artist Mary Frank, who was married to his friend Robert Frank; the jazz pianists Thelonious Monk and Sonny Clark, whose music was taped by Smith in his loft; and a series of obscure caregivers who helped keep Smith on his feet. The distillation of twenty years of research, Gene Smith's Sink is an unprecedented look into the photographer's potent legacy and the subjects around him.

Winner of the Andrea Doria Award for Frictional Literary Excellence
"Call it fiction... call it friction. Call it whatever you like. This winner of the prestigious Andrea Doria is a brilliant tour de force of Gonzo fiction Ten bone tickling funny, off-color, satirical stories have you laughing as you sit on society's razor's edge ." -- Dr. Kramer Killread the 1st, Esquire, The New Tampa Guide to Sane Automobile Repair
What you're in for...
I, Oxbow Lake the 2nd, have been writing Gonzo fiction for nigh on 50 years... without the aid of ganja or the other chemical mind-altering crutches Hunter S. Thompson needed to write his Gonzo journalism... all before there was such a thing as Gonzo fiction... and it took three books and a somewhat insane critic who writes for an idiosyncratic web site (see above)... 'idiosyncratic' being the kindest descriptive word I could hustle up... to notice. And notice he did... this year... fifty years late.
And what's all that got to do with the likes of a potential reader such as yourself? A lot. I've written 10 stories for this book. They're humorous... some in a Mark Twain kinda way... some in a Mad Magazine kinda way... some in Jonathon Swift kinda way... some in a schizophrenic kinda way... and some in a way that's all their own. All are humorous, uniquely interesting and present an unvarnished view of American life and politics. And regardless of what you may read elsewhere and in spite of that "(et alii?)" crap on the front cover insinuating there were other authors, I WROTE EVERY DAMN WORD MY VERY SELF AND NO ONE'S GOING TO PRY MY PEN FROM THESE COLD NOT QUITE DEAD FINGERS
The stories are about or by, in one way or other, a bunch of kids who grew up across the street from the fictional Sint Sink Prison on the shores of the Hudson River and their erstwhile relatives and descendants... many of whom are scattered about the east coast... at least as of this writing. Read the first story, "In Sint Sink there are walls of many colors", and tell me you're not hooked to read the other nine listed below as well.
For your enjoyment and the advancement of American Literature... make that 'and World Literature'... order a copy today if not sooner... and to give American and World Literature an even bigger boost order several more to give to friends and enemies
