Susan Meiselas traveled three years photographing and interviewing

We looked through this book at a bookstore recently, and it was really fantastic. The imagery is amazing, especially for us, since we'd never really been exposed to carnivals and circuses (the equivalent for us were circuses at hockey stadiums and carnivals put together by local churches). I'd love to go back and read all the details again, if I can get my hands on another copy.

Meiselas' gritty black & white photographs and candid interviews document a small group of carnival strippers from 1972 to 1975...book includes a CD featuring Meiselaa interview + sounds of the carnival talkers and a few strippers. Compelling.
