Synopsis
Stranger than Fiction by photographer Jim Stone is a singular publication which combines the exceptional craft of an illustrated monograph with the creative explorations of a small edition artists book. The book includes 48 duotone reproductions of photographs Stone has made around the world over the past 12 years exploring the humorous and tragic facets of the human condition. Interspersed throughout the photographs in the book are newspaper articles describing ordinary and extraordinary events that add emphasis to the notion that truth is stranger than fiction. The design of Stranger than Fiction is elegant and complex. Many pages in the book fold out to form spacious layouts and create curious juxtapositions that would be impossible to achieve in a more conventional format. By embracing the simple clarity of facts in the company of exceptional truths, Jim Stone has produced a distinctive photography book that in the words of reviewer A. D. Coleman "although many of the book's contents are humorous, Stone's theme is the unpredictable riskiness of life."
