Signed by Frey Richardson and Prince. <br/><br/>"JMc & GHB Editions has announced their forthcoming publication James Frey’s Wives Wheels Weapons. Published as a companion volume to Frey’s latest novel Bright Shiny Morning Harper Collins 2008 Wives Wheels Weapons is an artist’s book which excerpts three stories “Wives” “Wheels” and “Weapons” from Frey’s novel and presents them alongside a photo essay response by photographer Terry Richardson. Both writer and photographer are known for their fascination with the seamier side of life so not surprisingly the results of their collaboration are more than a little provocative. <br /> <br />Against the murky backdrop of the city’s one-night stand hotels and pornographic sub-culture “Wives” relates the tale of a sex-driven affair between a congressman’s wife and a high school teacher. The U.S. edition of Bright Shiny Morning will not carry the steamy “Wives” vignette but it will be included in the forthcoming U.K. edition. “Wheels” follows the rise of the car-dominated culture of L.A. the development of the surrounding super highway infrastructure and the emergence of illegal late night car racing introducing us to the mysterious figure of the “racemaster” orchestra or of these illicit nocturnal do-or-die contests. “Weapons” explores the complicated culture of gangs and crime their initiation rites power hierarchies and ruthless strategies as well as describing a genealogical topology of former and current gangs of L.A. <br /> <br />Balancing on a knife-edge of sustainability Frey’s L.A. is an apt symbol of contemporary Western mores and the dilemma of the 21st Century urbanite. Hovering however above the dismaying profane facts of urban existence is the grand spectral romance of citification the dream of civilized streamlined functional mass co-habitation a fallen yet potent ideal. <br /> <br />Photographer Terry Richardson’s spirited images discover this idealism in a typically bold and colorful style. The mood is defiant the sitters resilient and self-assertive. Here the “Wives” and mothers – a selection of women that might be lewdly characterized by the acronym MILFs – show an insistence on the sexual self amidst the routines of domesticity an assertive response to the annihilating mores of impersonal social decorum. Richardson’s “Wheels” documents the exuberant culture of automobile customization in contrast to the grim tedium of what most urban travel essentially demands. “Weapons” while documenting styles and postures of gang members invokes the dream of personal empowerment and the ideals of success born out of the ghettoes of desperation and failure." from copyleft.com JMc & GHB Editions hardcover books
