The Bill from My Father

The Bill from My Father

Office of Paul Sahre, New York, New York, 2005

Description

This book’s title refers to an itemized bill of expenses incurred from upbringing and mailed from father to son. I see this cover as the best way that I could find to get out of the way. The envelope was photographed as to lend a monumental quality to an ordinary object.

Juror Notes

Has that “Why didn’t I ever think of this?” quality. Extraordinarily unusual for a memoir. Obviously smart, smartly obvious!
