Illustrated throughout with full-page black & white photographs. Signed on the half-title by Rocky Schenck. A fine, as new copy. "This volume is the first book-length publication of Rocky Schenck's photography. The images range from human spaces - hotel rooms, store windows, lobbies, living rooms, even information booths - to natural places - oceans, lakes, forests, fields, and roadways - he encountered on trips through North America, Europe, and Mexico. For all their variety, however, Schenck's images form a coherent whole. Like lost scenes from a silent movie, they suggest bits of a story set in a vaguely threatening landscape in which loneliness and alienation are offset by moments of pure beauty. Refusing easy resolutions, Rocky Schenck never quite closes the story, leaving viewers to navigate their own way back to the daylight world." "Accompanying the images is an appreciative foreword by John Berendt, author of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil and a collector of Schenck's work.
