Text engl. - A compilation of family photography, including Larry Sultan's own memorabilia and visual artifacts. From the publisher: "Part family album, part visual novella, the book explores complicated, emotional issues about the nature of photography that are side-stepped by most photographic books." - Sultan presents over 40 mostly full and double page recent color images of his now elderly, retired parents, along with numerous family snapshots and frames from home movies taken while the family was growing and evolving. Also included are his parents reminiscences about their past and recent lives, especially those of his father concerning his ascent up a corporate ladder, as well as Sultan's frank views on these matters. This constitutes a serious, intimate exploration of truth telling via photography and verbal recollections, and the shifting realities of family interactions. A notable publication by an increasingly respected photographer. (Joseph Holden Books, Pasadena, CA, seen 03.2008).)
