Assouline presents a photographic tribute by the talented Pamela Hanson evoking the moods and subtle intentions that are boys. Pamela Hanson perfectly captures this spirit in moments of friendship, foolishness, and romanticism: the essence of the male youth. Hanson’s photos are extremely intimate, yet also evoke a general mood that is universally experiencedby anyone coming of age. Naivety and self-assertion, gentleness and insolence, this is a poignant book about life and its most elusive moments. Accompanying the photographs are insightful quotes by some of the writers (Plato, Mark Twain, Charles Dickens), and women (Christy Turlington, Julianne Moore, Sofia Coppola) who know them best. From the beaches of East Hampton to the cafes of Paris, on soccer fields, or behind the wheel of vintage cars, Boys captures the male spirit in all its glory.
