Jugé triste ou pervers, voire subversif, par la presse américaine d' alors, son importance n'a pourtant cessé de croître au fil des années. Car les photographes, les critiques et le grand public ont salué en Robert Frank un véritable novateur. Ce livre n'a rien d'un reportage. Il ne raconte pas le périple d'un homme à travers les Etats-Unis. Il rassemble une suite de notes prises sur le vif par un écorché vif. " ************************* ref 55bse44bs.
