I love this book. It's all in here and the heart of it is Tony's big true eye. He got it . . . the oddness meanness beauty and soul of this sad hilarious fractured place. Viva Fresno.-Terry Allen The central California teenage wasteland is the bane of its inhabitants and the butt of a thousand late night TV jokes. It comes in next to dead last in surveys of cities with a high quality of life. Though it's one of the most ethnically diverse communities in the country with a large population of Basques Hispanics African Americans Vietnamese and Armenians Fresno is also a killing capitol home to low-riding cholos empty buildings and dope drops. It is also the birthplace of the lauded young photographer Tony Stamolis whose fascination with his strange hometown provides a disturbing hilarious and poignant insider's view of post-suburban American badlands and its inhabitants.
