Publisher's Synopsis
This exceptonally strong and dynamic series of street photographs of New York is the winner of the 1999 European Publishers Award for Photography. As we follow Mermelstein through the city we are staggered by its drama and mystery. We confront characters who seem hyper-real - crazed, paranoid or simply pressured - and we come across incidents which seem totally surreal. Exhilarating and memorable, immensely funny yet deeply disturbing, this is a major work by an established talent. Includes 58 full-colour plates.
