Download Weegee: The Autobiography AudioBook Free
Weegee not only captured the gritty underbelly of NEW YORK in his explosive images, but he resided it as well. This long out-of-print autobiography, brought back with complete and unabridged word by Devault-Graves Digital Editions, was written toward the end of Weegee's life before he was the photographic story he's today. Here he tells the story of how an impoverished Jewish immigrant called Arthur Fellig from Zlothev, Austria, came to grips with one of the toughest metropolitan areas on earth and managed to get his own. In wisecracking prose that is a match for his unblinking ferocity behind the camera, Weegee recounts his times of taking tintypes of kids on ponies and exactly how this understanding of the pavements and neighborhoods of New York led to him being the first on the picture of the city's every murder, catastrophe, and heartbreak. In Weegee: The Autobiography the writer candidly and without reserve tells listeners about documenting the grisly neighborhood executions by Murder, Inc., tenements up in flames, child killers, enthusiasts in the trunk rows of movie theaters, and the intimate misadventures of streetwalkers, pimps, and transsexuals, all in a voice that got seen everything and loved everything. Supporters of Weegee's picture taking will not want to miss his storyline, told in the manner only Weegee himself could tell. The brand new Devault-Graves Digital Editions version of Weegee: The Autobiography has an abundance of new materials. A genuine Afterword by publisher and critic Ed Ward is included.
