Henry Rollins - Occupants
Signed copies are SOLD OUT!
Occupants pairs Rollins' visceral full-color photographs taken in Bangladesh, Burma, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Northern Ireland, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, and elsewhere over the last few years—with writings that not only provide context and magnify the impact of the images but also lift them to the level of political commentary. Simply put, this book is a visual testimony of anger, suffering, and resilience that will help its readers realize what is so easy to miss when tragedy and terror become numbing, constant forces—the quieter, stronger forces of healing, solidarity, faith and even joy.

Stop The Press! Stop what you are doing and go out and BUY THIS BOOK. Every single household, school, youth club and library need this book. The raw power and brutal honesty of the photographs is matched by the cutting truisms that most are too scared to print. Thank you Henry Rollins. The world needs you to help to keep things in perspective. I applaud you for enduring the miseries of life and reporting it all so sincerely. I cannot put this book down. Some of it is really hard to take - but that is the entire point. It forces you out of your safe, squishy comfort zone and throws the harshness of real, technicoloured life right into your face. Pure brilliance. We can all afford to do more for each other. These harsh realities will never go away just because we choose to hide under our bed covers. This book has made me re-evaluate what I do in my life to make a difference. I may be alone in the world , but, I have never been nor, will I ever be selfish. I know better. So does this author - and so do you. Put down your Nintendo and start to make a difference in your way. Congratulations Mr R, I hope you are ready for the deserved award nominations this book is sure to bring. This book has made me a better person. Gilly P, Scotland.Post Review
