Conversations with the Dead is an extraordinary photographic testimony of life inside six Texas prisons and of the relationships Danny Lyon was able to build with certain inmates. Revolutionary at the time of its publication, it was one of the first photography books to include documentary materials such as prison records, mug shots, and letters written by prisoners. This new edition has been updated with a postscript by Danny Lyon reflecting on the making of the book, its impact, and its relevance today. It also provides information on what happened to those inmates in the forty years following the book’s first publication. First French edition, black-and-white photographs.
