Publisher's Description
Winner of American Photographer's 1986 award for new faces in fine-art photography, Anne Turyn's work could be characterized as photo narratives that are akin to short stories. The critic Andy Grundberg, who includes a short essay, calls Turyn "among the instigators of what we might call the new narrative art." She started the literary journal Top Stories in 1978 that has since published work by Laurie Anderson, Jenny Holzer, Kathy Acker, and Constance DeJong (who also includes an essay here). This is a fascinating new work.
