An authoritative, full-career retrospective of Louis Stettner, the great twentieth-century American photographer, reproducing his finest works in one stunning volume. This volume brings together the most important photographs from the long career of Louis Stettner. Born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1922, Stettner's life would span nearly a century, his work reflecting the unique vision of one of the twentieth-century's master photographers. Organized chronologically, Louis Stettner presents approximately 190 photographs from Stettner's career, featuring his iconic images of New York and Paris; the architecture of urban wonders such as Penn Station, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the New York City subway; as well as candid and empathetic street photographs of the people who inhabit these metropolitan centers. While celebrated for his black-and-white works, the book also includes Stettner's works in color, many previously unpublished and unknown. The authors investigate the influence of his experiences as a photographer in World War II on his life and work. They also explore his experience with the celebrated Photo League cooperative and his relationships with photographers such as Weegee, Sid Grossman, Ruth Orkin, and Berenice Abbott. The result is a definitive book on Stettner's photography--making the work of the great lensman available to generations of readers.

The official Anais Nin literary journal. This issue contains the early correspondence between Anais Nin and the agent who would help propel her to long-sought fame, Gunther Stuhlmann. The letters reveal the seeming hopelessness of Nin's quest for wide readership in the late fifties and early sixties, with descriptions of the mighty yet vain efforts to land an important American publisher. Twelve contributors--Richard Pine, Javant Biarujia, Toyoko Yamamoto, Katrin Burtschell, Karl Orend, Sarah King, Nabila Marzouk, James Clawson, Shyamal Bagchee, Jane Keller, Candace Fertile, and Pamela Francis--offer insightful and informative essays, poetry, and book reviews. Included in Vol. 3 are articles concerning Nin's two great literary allies in Paris, Henry Miller and Lawrence Durrell, and a look at the life of one of Nin's most enigmatic muses, June, Miller's wife. The journal has an associated web site and online discussion group.
