Remarkably although Papageorge has been on the scene since the 1970s - an old collaborator with Winogrand and 30 yrs a professor at Yale- this is his first monograph. It was worth the wait. Incorporating work made over the course of 25 years shows off not only Papageorge's remarkable ability to make photographs that read like condensed narratives, but also his skill at weaving them into sequences that echo shared cultural narratives. It challenges the reader to succumb (or not) to the pleasures of the "fullness" of each individual photograph, while ignoring (or not) the tug of a tale asking to be told. Like Eden itself, this book sets our hunger for beauty against that of knowledge, while reminding us of some of the ways that we read, and come to know, books. Item #4682
