Someone has taken a trip and taken photographs of that trip and someone else has been invited to watch a slideshow of the trip taken. There is a road, there is an abstract painting, there is a viewer who wishes he could live in a televised loop of a sunset, and another who wonders why people are obese. Tribulations of a Westerner in the Western World is a stunner of a first book, a narrated slideshow of inner and outer geographies complete with fifty-two black-and-white photographs taken by the author.
This title is a second edition, released as part of punctum’s Special Collections(opens in new tab) project.
