Profiles of four photographers, none of whose work interested me. I bought it because a description of one of them, a recluse who thought he was an angel and obsessively photographed people and places of New York, sounded interesting. It's since been republished as a separate work, Angel's World.
Anyway, Lesy does his usual thorough research into each of his subjects. It's not his fault I thought their lives were more interesting than their art. I find his books about historical photos more interesting.
