Why read it?
1 author picked Kiki Man Ray as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love a good story about artists who refuse to play by the rules, and Kiki Man Ray was exactly that. Her story hit me because it’s all about pushing boundaries, no matter who tries to shut the door.

From Michael's list on attitude from a punk photographer.
