Book Inspired by Movie Inspired by Murders

The 2nd edition of Christian Patterson's "Redheaded Peckerwood" published by MACK is available now. The inspiration for this photobook came after Patterson saw the 1973 movie 'Badlands". The movie idea came from the true story of a young couple who went on a murder spree in 1957/8 in Nebraska. Patterson's "Redheaded Peckerwood" looks at the Nebraska murders in what Luc Sante has described as "a kind of subjective documentary photography of the historical past." Highly recommended.
