Philip Blenkinsop - The cars that ate Bangkok, White Lotus, 1996, Bangkok

 

Hardcover with dust jacket, handnumbered edition of 1000 copies.

Combining the collaged, diaristic style of Bill Burke's Mine Fields with the true fiction voice of William T. Vollman and the brutality of a driving school movie, The Cars that Ate Bangkok presents the most graphic account of Southeast Asian driving accidents imaginable. It is not for the faint-of-heart, nor merely for thrill seekers: Blenkinsop's newspaper clippings, quotes, and observations reveal the attitudes of a culture on a collision course with disaster; his photographs show even more.
