Working — Bill Owens, 2009 (Revised Edition)

The American workplace, stripped of myth. First conceived in the 1970s and revised here, this volume turns Owens’ steady lens toward mechanics, salesmen, factory workers, and small-business owners, pairing portraits with direct, unpolished statements about labor and ambition. The tone is neither heroic nor cynical; it lets routine, pride, boredom, and contradiction coexist. Published by FotoFolio in 2009, this edition extends Owens’ essential survey of postwar American life from suburbia into the structures that sustain it.
