Au Naturel / born naked (e-book) (used book) | Albert Russo | bookbook.eu

Description

Portraits of the author, alone or accompanied, taken in Africa, The US, Europe, where he has resided, and around the world, in different stages of his life, with pictures of his abode. Note: the quality of the photos is variable, this book being primarily a photographic history of the author rather than a professional photobook. Some of these pictures are erotic, some, very kitch, and others frankly ridiculous, like life itself at times. Albert Russo who has published worldwide over 80 books of poetry, fiction and photography, in both English and French, his two mother tongues (Italian being his 'paternal' tongue; he also speaks Spanish and German and still has notions of Swahili), is the recipient of many awards, such as The New York Poetry Forum and Amelia (CA) awards, The American Society of Writers Fiction Award, The British Diversity Short Story Award, several Writer's Digest poetry and fiction awards, and the Prix Colette, among others. His work has been translated into a dozen languages in 25 countries, on the five continents. He has garnered several prizes for his photography books, Indie Excellence awards, among others. Some of his photos have been exhibited at the prestigious Museum of Photography in Lausanne, Switzerland. He was also a member of the 1996 jury for the Neustadt International Prize for Literature which often leads to the Nobel Prize of Literature. Author's website: www.albertrusso.eu
