 | Land of the Free by Andrei Codrescu, David Graham
Land of the Free is photographer David Graham`s tribute to the American people in all their idiosyncratic splendor. A tireless traveler and a natural-born storyteller, Graham has photographed ordinary folks in their homes and at their jobs across the nation -- from his native Pennsylvania to New Mexico, and many places in between -- to assemble a composite picture of America. Graham`s portraits of celebrity impersonators are also featured; here you`ll find look-alikes for Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra and Roy Orbison, Bette Midler and Elizabeth Taylor. Land of the Free: What Makes Americans Different does for America in the 1980s and 1990s what Bill Owens`s Suburbia did to capture the 1970s. It is a mirror of its time, held slightly askew by a gifted photographer, then turned upside down by a highly imaginative writer. The wry insights of NPR commentator and author Andrei Codrescu accompany Graham`s photographs. AUTHOR: Andrei Codrescu, David Graham
