West of Last Chance, Hardback Book

West of Last Chance Hardback

Hardback

Description

West of Last Chance is a unique collaboration between celebrated photographer Peter Brown and award-winning author Kent Haruf.

The result is a profound visual/verbal dialogue of short prose pieces and large-format color images that brings to life this sometimes brutal and incredibly beautiful part of the country.

Awarded the Dorothea Lange-Paul Taylor Prize by the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University for this project in 2005, the authors write: "Our interest in this part of the world is contemporary but also includes its history and a mix of stories that have passed down over the years, stories that resonate with the land in interesting ways." It is an evocative work concerned with "moments that describe the beauty, power, tragedy, and cultural complexity of the place itself: the way the land has been used, the way people have lived on it, and the visual record that has been left behind."
