{"product_id":"water-over-thunder-selected-writings","title":"Larry Sultan — Water Over Thunder: Selected Writings","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe first book given over to Larry Sultan's writing, a side of his work less well known than his photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe texts come from the journals and notebooks Sultan kept, and many are printed here for the first time: notes on teaching and his own practice, drafts of short stories, records of dreams and finished essays. Passages from his public lectures and interviews run between them and bear on the ideas behind the series he is best known for, \u003cem\u003ePictures from Home\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Valley\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eEvidence\u003c\/em\u003e, the last made with Mike Mandel. Water recurs through the writing, as subject and as metaphor, and the title comes from an early draft for \u003cem\u003ePictures from Home\u003c\/em\u003e about beginning a new project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is illustrated with archive material not seen before: annotated contact sheets, outtakes, scouting pictures, found photographs he collected, and layouts from the maquettes he made for his books. Among the documents is a 1969 letter to a local board of the Selective Service System, arguing that he should not be drafted during the Vietnam War.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSultan was born in Brooklyn in 1946 and died in 2009. He was on the faculty of the San Francisco Art Institute, then spent twenty years teaching at California College of the Arts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMACK, 2026. 320 pages, debossed flexibound, 17 x 23 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MACK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57030626214219,"sku":"9781917651363","price":450.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0968\/0401\/2363\/files\/simone-cover-a190.jpg?v=1791200130","url":"https:\/\/shop.simonebook.services\/products\/water-over-thunder-selected-writings","provider":"Simone Book Services","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
