A rare glimpse into an American upper class through the lens of the insider
Photographer Will Vogt was raised in Haverford (PA). The
oldest of three sons, he was less interested in sports then the
children he knew and gravitated instead toward literature, music,
and art. He describes his rather affluent childhood as relatively
normal for the late 1950's - 60's. That is, until three days after
his 16th birthday when he saw Jimi Hendrix live for the first
time...
With the publication of Bright Lights, Big City (Random House,
1984) Jay McInerney became a literary sensation, heralded as
the voice of a generation. This remarkable novel - Will Vogt's
absolute favorite book - chronicled the lives of wealthy New York
hedonists and remains one of the most beloved, imitated, and iconic
novels in America and abroad.
