Book Reviews of Wisconsin Death Trip
Book Review: The Art of History
Summary: 5 Stars
First published in 1973, Lesy's book has been reprinted to tie in with BBC2's fictionalised account of "Wisconsin Death Trip". Lesy has put together an involving account of life in Black River Falls, Wisonsin, at the turn of the century. Original photographs and clippings from a local newspaper are combined with revealing literature extracts to create a vivid picture of a town struggling to survive into the 20th century. Visually the book is stunning, from the minimalist cover design to the pages of black and white photographs and the attractive lay out of the text. Lesy is an almost invisible editor, limiting personal comment to an essay at the end of the book and preferring to let the haunting photographs and spare yet affecting text tell their own, enthralling story.
