Summary:

"This is the uncensored, cussing confession of the stormy petrel of Photography, the autobiography of Weegee the Famous ('alias' Arthur Fellig) who, in the wild Twenties, Thirties, Forties, Fifties--and Sixties--shot them all...politicians and statesmen, cops and robbers, beer barons and gangsters, strippers and stars...and whose best photographs--stark but superb realism--now hang in the Museum of Modern Art."-- From jacket flap.
