Book Description

Goldin charts the loss of innocence through barrooms and parties on the social periphery of New York's East Village and through the harrowing worlds of drugs and prostitution. The Ballad of Sexual Dependency is a visual diary chronicling the struggle for intimacy and understanding between friends, and lovers--collectively described by Nan Goldin as her "tribe." Her work describes a world that is visceral, charged, and seething with life . . . . As Goldin writes: "Real memory, which these pictures trigger, is an invocation of the color, smell, sound, and physical presence, the density and flavor of life."

Customer Reviews:

amazing.......2006-02-03

Nan Goldin captures what it's like to be human in a way that no one else can. Her friends---her family----feel pain and introspection and I felt lonely looking through the book but the rare moments of connection in a world where so many people are alone with their drug addiction, disease, unhappiness, are all the more moving.

Wow.......2005-02-02

It's really sad how Nan Goldin hasn't gottten a single intelligible review for her seminial work, "The Ballad of Sexual Dependency." Her incredibly self-brutalizing protrayl of her life, friends, lovers, are just the sort of photographs we take when we want memories to cut. Most of the photographs are candid, fleshy, and almost dirtied with color. People copulate, hurt, masturbate, alienate each other with the sort of urbane nonchalance that people confused in their own lives inflict on others. In one particular self-portrait, Nan Goldin records her battered face directly after being battered by her lover, her bloodied eye matching her pasty lipstick. That one photograph can rip you to shreds if you let it. Originally, Nan Goldin showed "The Ballad of Sexual Dependency" in a slideshow format, which probably has a different feel than the book does. While some of the photos in the book were a little weak in the grain, most of the photos are beautifully reproduced.

Not of interest to me. A little distressing........1999-01-29

I'm glad I didn't buy this book, now that I've seen it. Although the reproduction quality of the photographs is very good, the photographs themselves aren't interesting to me and are even a bit distressing.

I haven't seen the film(s) or exhibitions about Nan's work though. There is some information about her work on the web - take a look at Yahoo.

family fun for all!.......1998-06-26

this is one of the best collections of color photography i have seen. nan and her friends are beautiful and scary and strong and fun and sad. i have seen the slide show and bought the book when it was reprinted. go out and buy it! END

Book Description

Few aspects of The New York Times's coverage of September 11 and of all that has followed have attracted as much comment as 'Portraits of Grief.' The series profiled the lives lost in the attacks on the World Trade Center and was a story in itself, becoming required reading for many the world over. Beginning on September 14, 2001, a half-dozen Times reporters began working from a stack of one hundred missing persons fliers collected from points around the World Trade Center. They wrote profiles containing short but signature details of the lives they strove to present. These portraits transcend race, class, age, and gender while capturing the poignancy of the victims' similarities: life cut short in an American tragedy. This new edition includes the complete 'Portraits of Grief' series with approximately four hundred additional portraits published since February 3, 2002. The profiles have become a source of connection and consolation, a focus for the sorrow of readers both reeling from disbelief and searching for support.

Customer Reviews:

Single, most influential book about people's lives I've read.......2007-01-16

Portraits 9/11/01 (2nd edition) provides a glimpse of one or two facets of the lives of those who were cruelly snuffed out before their time in a civilized and developed world. I can say it's been the single most influential book about people's lives I have ever read (of course, I have an emotional connection with 9/11 that probably makes for my strong opinion about the book). The vignettes demonstrated the extraordinary impact that so many ordinary people had on the lives of their loved ones, their families, friends, and even coworkers. The book was truly democratic and blind to the usual forms of discrimination. As a nation, we quickly recovered. The process of healing for the families of those that were affected will take much longer. Their lives will never be the same again.

Kudos to the entire team of reporters and staff for their effective research and writing.

My review of a book that I will always keep and forever treasure.......2006-11-13

I am still going through the book. It's a beautiful book and has brief biographies about each victim of 911. By victims I mean the people who died that day. I had hoped one day someone would take the time to do something like this. To me it's a tribute to all of those people who thought they were getting up that morning to just another day. I wanted something to honor the firemen as well as the police and all of the people who reported to their jobs that morning. It's a big book but it has to be...so many were involved in the making of it. This book won't sadden me as much as it will help me remember all of those people whose lives ended way, way too soon. My most heartfelt thank you to all involved in the creating of this book.

Glad to see a touching tribute..........2006-09-10

I am looking forward to reading this book. I, too, lost a friend on 9/11. Oh, and to the "reader" below who wrote about his or her paranoia ... we obviously do have free speech in this country. You were allowed to post your opinion here just as everyone else did, weren't you? My friend, who was a flight attendant on the airliner that slammed into the tower, no longer has free speech. Her throat was slashed by one of those barbarians. Her right to free speech was savagely stolen from her by a dirty terrorist, and her life was cut short at age 29.

It's nice to see a book that touches the human spirit for a change. Please don't violate the memories those thousands of American men, women and children who died so innocently by blending their senseless deaths with political rhetoric and garbage.

Oh - and one more thing. If you don't like America or Americans, you are also free to leave.

NY Times - a "right wing " newspaper?!.......2006-08-17

I have not read this book, although I would like to - I lost a friend on 9/11, and like so many others, the event devastated me. I just wanted to reply to "a reader" who posted on 7/7/04 - is your head buried so far underground that you declare the NY Times to be a right-wing newspaper, an instrument of the Bush administration? It is one of the most liberal "established" papers around - are you a native English speaker?? Perhaps you should spend some more time educating yourself AND appreciate a tribute to the thousands of innocents who died and spend less time in your delusional state.

Good luck.

Pure love.......2005-10-27

In the days following Spetmeber 11, I was strongly drawn to the Portraits of Grief featured in the New York Times. As I sat there stunned over the tragedy, I felt so very connected to it by being able to share even a small portion of the lives of the people who perished that day. I felt honored and humbled and felt such love for individuals and families I had never met.

I bought this book to put away for my young son. It is vitally important to me as a proud American, as a mother, and as a citizen of the world, that my son truly understands the enormity of Septermber 11 and how the world is forever changed as a result of that day.

I could buy him some history books or analyses of how the events of that day unfolded but I believe this book will touch him in ways that no other books could.

Please, please consider doing the same for our future generations.

Good Introduction to the Business.......2006-07-12

This book is a good introduction to the local music business. It is really oriented to the musician that is just starting out. What you can expect to find is a fairly complete description of getting started in music. The headline on the back cover says 'You can survive happily as a musician in your local music market.'

I think it might better say you 'might' survive happily. Making a living at any of the performing arts is not easy. You can expect a lot of time spent on non-music activities like marketing yourself, like deciding what kinds of music can sell in your area, and so on. As my daughter said before she entered this business (Broadway), 'it's not something you necessarily want to do, it's something you have to do.'

If you have to do it, this little book will give you a good grounding in what its all about.

get the low-down.......2006-04-15

If you've ever played out and are looking to 'expand your horizons,' (whether in the U.S. or Canada,) YOU NEED TO LOOK AT THIS BOOK! Weissman covers so much in here - the advantages and disadvantages of current music centers (Portland, Austin, etc.) and explains everything from contracts to union membership to record label auditions. One of the best features is that he'll give you the pros and cons of any area - he wants you to find the best fit for YOU (whether its the local music scene or major market scene.) Producing, advertising, financing, record deals, agents, polishing your own music skills - the list goes on and on. AND there are some great appendices - contact information for arts councils, songwriter's associations, performing rights organizations, etc. These lists and other sections of the book also include the Canadian music scene.

Good overall with one exception.......2002-02-03

Although I never met the author, I attended Bill Fowler's modern guitar class with him in Denver in 1975. I would think that anyone reading this book would find at least one good idea for increasing their musical income.
I have been a professional musician based out of Denver since 1975, and have toured the U.S.A. several times promoting the CDs for my band, Hillbilly Hellcats. My only disagreement with the book is the Alan Remington pricing formula, found on page 50, in which Alan states that the average patron will stay two hours and drink four drinks. That was true in the pre-MADD days. In Colorado people go to jail for driving after two drinks, .05 BAC being the legal limit. Because of this, the average patron is now drinking only 1-2 drinks in two hours, and the resulting lack of sales means that many clubs have closed, and those open are struggling. No club is about to give any band an admission fee and a percentage of the bar, as Alan suggests that a band ask for. Books by Tim Sweeney and Peter Spellman both mention the effects of the anti-drunk driving campaign on clubs, and I was surprised that such a significant economic development was not covered in this book.

Very Basic Info.......2000-05-11

Wow. This basically boiled down to a waste of about ( ) of the book's purchase price. Before you buy, beware. This would probably be a good book for you if you are just out of school or are just getting started in "the biz". However, as an experienced musician who thought this title might provide some helpful marketing tips and ideas, I was very disappointed. Its extremely basic. Also, Weissman's idea of what constitutes a local music market seems to be off as well-I would consider Boston, or Portland or any of these cities major metropolitan areas-- not just New York, LA, Nashville and Chicago. At least 2 chapters are wasted on the history of the music scenes of some cities, including those I just mentioned-- how is this important to you if you live in a small Metropolitan area, such as Harrisburg, where I'm at? Also, as a former Boston resident, I don't think Weissman really does the city's scene justice-- major acts besides New Kids on the Block have been broken out of Beantown-- look no farther than the Mighty Mighty Bosstones or Aerosmith. However, there was some interesting, albeit vague, info about the Union, Grants, and Artist in Residence programs. I would think that someone with the qualifications of Weissman would be able to offer much more specified info instead of vague statements such as "Try to set up a meeting with the Creative Director of an Ad Agency". But, then again, maybe its supposed to be more of an overview kinda book. If you're just getting started, this might be a good book for you. If you're out there doing it full time, look elsewhere- there's not much I got out of this book.

If music's your career - be willing to do it all!!.......1998-07-06

I bought this book several years ago, when I first started my "Career" as a professional musician. I knew that to be a working musician, I'd have to hustle, do anything and everythng I could to make a buck. I knew that the road ahead would be rough if I weren't willing to get out there and find out what was available in my area. Most musicians don't make the bulk of their income by record sales. Even with my album doing well, I had to utilize every resource locally, in order to make ends meet. After reading this book, I realized I was doing a lot of things "right," but there were several ideas I hadn't looked into. This book motivated me to squeese every drop of brainstorming I could muster- to really make a name for myself in my home town. So far so good. I still use this book when gigs are down, to remind myself of the things I could be doing out there. After all- this is what I chose as my "profession." From weddings to school presentations, and from studio work to local festivals, I try to remind Sacramento CA. that I'm here!

Great textbook - Poor Reference.......2007-02-23

I purchased this book as reference for the current year. Poor choice. It does not have the changes for the last two years integrated into the text. If I was teaching a tax class I would use this book as my text. It is very complete and the exercises have very real world situations.
