e classic, definitive look at the birth of graffiti as an art form, pairing the fascinating 1974 essay by Norman Mailer--National Book Award and two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Naked and the Dead and The Executioner's Song--with the stunning, iconic photography of internationally acclaimed photographer Jon Naar. Back in print for the first time in three decades and expanded with 32 pages of additional photos, The Faith of Graffiti is a landmark in the history of street art: an essential, contemporary, and still-relevant meditation, in words and pictures, on the meaning of identity, property, and city life.
