Book separated into five categories: "Kids: We do not construct our children in our own image, we construct our children in our images of them. Damaged Bodies: Witkin's art is the product of an uncertain spiritual quest. His is work that invites us to share in uncertainty and the need for reassurance. Ageing: What has changed between Rembrandt's age, when he could find beauty and dignity in the mature body, and our own, when that body has become one that can only be imagined with disgust? Inside/Out: The potential for pathological disorder, for a body that can spiral out of control, is something inherent to use all. Death: Though they may revoly us, these deeply personal pictures have an artistic purpose. They yse the stuff of horror to make universal claims about our lives." - blurb from back of book.
