Luc Sante picks 'Shomei Tomatsu' for the 'New York Times Book Review' Holiday Gift Guide

"Protest, Shinjuku, Tokyo" (1969) is reproduced from Shomei Tomatsu, one of just ten killer photobooks on Luc Sante's 2018 New York Times Book Review Holiday Gift Guide. The book "is a torrent of images," he writes, "primarily black-and-white, that are off-kilter, aggressive, meditative, bleak, stark, enigmatic, erotic or any combination thereof, each of them not just a window into a time and a place but a terse and unanswerable statement." Congratulations to the co-publishers, Editorial RM and Fundación MAPFRE!
