Description
An excerpt from Frey’s novel of the same name, this book is a sprawling, gritty love letter to Los Angeles wrapped up in an artist’s book. It’s beautiful, and it features collaborations with controversial artists Richard Prince and Terry Richardson. Two of Richardson’s color plates are tipped-in. Fantastic front and rare cover illustrations by Prince.
Blurring the lines between fiction, art, and photography, this edition elevates Frey’s excerpt of the novel into almost a multimedia experience. His narrative is juxtaposed by Richardson’s shots of gangsters, pornstars, and skinheads — among others. A perfect addition to the collector’s shelf of the transgressive and bold and controversial.
Bright Shiny Morning is a sprawling, kaleidoscopic portrait of L.A., weaving together the lives of the famous, the forgotten, and the desperate in a city that both builds and breaks dreams. James Frey’s raw, fragmented storytelling captures the chaos, beauty, and contradictions of LA, making this book as mesmerizing as the city itself.
Edition of 2000: 1000 in wraps, 1000 in boards; there were also 26 special copies containing a “portfolio of prints” as well as 5 copies containing a “Richard Prince girlfriend and a Terry Richardson wife.”
