Among the cultural figures discussed are writers Henry James, John Dos Passos, and James Agee; photographers Alfred Stieglitz and Margaret Bourke-White; and architect-designers Gustav Stickley and Frank Lloyd Wright. A witty essay on the significance of junk in the 1930s concludes the book.Orvell, Miles is the author of 'Real Thing:imitation+authenticity...' with ISBN 9780807818374 and ISBN 0807818372.
