{"product_id":"9781576876763","title":"An American Lowlife","description":"Originally published in the U.K. as a limited edition artist's book in 2011, and now out of print, \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eAn American Lowlife\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e has been resurrected and is now presented as an eBook for all who missed the original.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsing his camera like a knuckled fist, Scot Sothern spent five years  photographing street prostitutes and the bleak netherworld they, and he,  inhabited. He was not in the trenches as a journalist or crusader but  as a John with base instincts and an artistic eye. Gritty,  black-and-white Tri-X images, along with Sothern's short, confessional  writing tell the story of \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eAn American Lowlife\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e. Shot mostly  in Southern California between 1986 and 1990, this work records the  existence of the many disenfranchised Americans, men and women, hawking  body and soul for the price of a Big Mac and a fix. With these  full-frontal portraits, and full disclosure texts, \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eAn American Lowlife\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e documents the struggle and paralyzing plight of street-level sex  workers—victims of a culture that deems them criminal and expendable.","brand":"powerHouse Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47150253211888,"sku":"9781576876763","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781576876763_p0.jpg?v=1763793757","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781576876763","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
