"I have the original hardcover edition of this book, which I bought in 1972. Diane Arbus came to Atlanta a year or so before her death and gave a talk at Nexus a photographers' collective, if I remember correctly. Over the years, I have returned to this book time and again, always surprised by the images. The book itself is exceptionally well-made, with beautiful reproductions of the photographs. I saw some of the photographs from this book at an exhibit two years ago, and they and this book have stood the test of time."
"Disturbing, haunting, affecting ... genius. Diane Arbus forces us to look at people we'd rather not look at if given the choice, and to think about 'differentness' we'd rather not think about in polite society. Yet like a car wreck and resulting gaper's block we can't look away. These people, and yes they are people, are today's lepers, shunned and banished from the mainstream - or worse. Her photographs, straight-on and unblinking and in un-flattering light, expose and magnify the flaws, awkwardness and differentness of her subjects. Yet we identify with these unfortunates who for the most part have been born with, and have to bear, a disability (or more politically correct, a challenge). We have our own flaws, awkwardness and differentness; we're just better at hiding them. But for the grace of God..."
"Good overview of many of Diane Arbus's key photographs - such as the twins, the Jewish Giant, and the nudist colony photos. Available at JoCo library."
