Richard Billingham - Ray's a laugh, Scalo, 1996, Zürich
Hardcover with dustjacket. Text below from the read-cover.
"Flash into the face of Mom and Dad.
A British family-album so cool that I can see and hear what goes on between the frames.
No room for judgement or morality...
Reality and no pretence.
Richard Billingham is the son and he knows - his family." (Robert Frank)
"This book is about my close family. My father Raymond is a chronic alcoholic. He doesn't like going outside and mostly drinks homebrew. y mother Elizabeth hardly drinks but she does smoke a lot. She likes pets and things that are decorative. They married in 1970 and I was born soon after. My younger brother Jason was taken into care when he was 11 but is now back with Ray and Liz again. Recently he became a father. Ray says Jason is unruly. Jason says Ray's a laugh but doesn't want to be like him." (Richard Billingham)
