AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Simplicity and dedication are two apt words to sum up The Pink Book, a collection of images and memoirs from Henry Von Doussa. The book is a series of personal essays and collages bound in an exquisite coffee-table book; it bursts with colour and nuance yet simplicity and dedication to the characters and stories that lie within. Interwoven with touchingly personal stories of childhood and young adulthood and philosophies on life, it is a challenge to put The Pink Book down …I devoured the lion’s share of the book in my garden, smiling and gasping as I greedily turned the pages.' (Introduction)

Notes

  • Epigraph:

    In a complicated, hard-to-live-up-to way, simplicity was what my parents valued. Simplicity and dedication.
