Softcover. NY, Aperture Foundation, 5th pr., 1992, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, oblong format, b&w plates. Afterward by Reynolds Price. Mann's controversial third book. "Mann's subjects are her small children (a boy, a girl and a new baby), often shot when they're sick or hurt or just naked. Nosebleeds, cuts, hives, chicken pox, swollen eyes, vomiting -- the usual trials of childhood -- can be alarmingly beautiful, thrillingly sensual moments in Mann's portrait album. Her ambivalence about motherhood -- her delight and despair -- pushes Mann to delve deeper into the steaming mess of family life than most of us are willing to go. What she comes up with is astonishing. "-- Vince Aletti, The Village Voice. Clean copy.
