All-American V
All-American V: Is Love Enough? is the fifth in a series of limited-edition art and literary journals created and published by Bruce Weber. The goal of the series is to celebrate the work of artists, essayists, photographers, poets and individuals who stand out as compelling examples of the American cultural experience. The provocative question posed by the title of All-American V: Is Love Enough? frames this book’s thematic exploration of human devotion in its many forms. The centerpiece of the volume is a chapter devoted to the U.S. Marine Corp, featuring original photography taken by Bruce Weber on the base at Camp Pendleton and extensive profiles of Sgt. Nick Popaditch, a Marine wounded in Baghdad, and Cpl. Jeff Boskovitch, who was killed in action in Iraq. Weber’s photographs also appear in a career-spanning photo-essay on the Reverend Billy Graham. Additional chapters are dedicated to Mississippi civil rights activist Winson Hudson; rodeo photographer, Louise Serpa; pulp fiction master, Mickey Spillane; American playwright, Tennessee Williams; and painter Fairfield Porter.
