The Perfect Childhood is an overview of Clark's work from his native Oklahoma in the late 1960's coupled with a later series of tender and erotic portraits of a skater boy—his latest incarnation of eternal youth. Clark confronts us with lucid, melancholy images of male adolescence in its wide-eyed, destructive glory.
First edition. Hardcover. Photographs by Larry Clark. 175 pp. with 110 four-color and 48 duotone plates. 11 x 9 inches. Not distributed in the United States. Out of print.
