    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    ‘I’d read stories about gangs killing drug-pushers who targeted young people. Police would find their bodies at the bottom of five-storey buildings. I didn’t want to go looking for them alone’ The late 1960s and most of the 1970s were a difficult time for New York. I’d moved there from France in 1965 with a reporter friend and a plan to start a little agency, but soon found myself working alone. It could be a dangerous city, especially at night, but I enjoyed taking pictures of everyda

Hec is sort of a New Zealand archetype. When I was at university, during the holidays I’d work at cutting hay and shifting sheep and fertiliser. There was always

You stay warm at night on the floor in the yurt burning yak dung in the furnace’ My parents and grandparents migrated to the US from Afghanistan in 1979, just a few weeks before the Soviets invaded.
