Overview
Men's Lives is the powerful and moving portrait of the waning, three-hundred-year-old culture of the commercial fisherman of the eastern end of Long Island, their ordinary lives rendered extraordinary-and universal-by circumstance and by the spare, fluid prose of one-time fellow crewman Peter Mattheisen, whom the New York Times Book Review has called "a unique and masterful visionary artist." Doug Kuntz, a local fisherman-photographer, also wished to leave a record of this handful of men and women who still live from the sea. He, along with Dan Budnik, Martine Franck, Jean Gaumy, Evelyn Hofer, Lynn Johnson, Danny Lyon, and Gilles Peress, observed and photographed this seafaring community between 1981 and 1985, in the distinguished documentary tradition pioneered by Matthew Brady and the Farm Security Administration. Their work, together with photographs culled from private collections and archives, has resulted in an unforgettable portrait, in pictures and prose, of an unforgettable, and unforgetting, breed of men. This deluxe two-volume set, housed in a clamshell box with a signed limited edition silver gelatin print by Dan Budnik, is a marvel of modern day bookmaking and is here reissued in a numbered edition 500 copies. Each copy is signed by author Peter Matthiessen.
