When it was first published in 1971, Larry Clark’s groundbreaking book *Tulsa* immediately sparked controversy across the country. Its explicit depictions of sex, violence, and drug abuse within Oklahoma’s youth culture were hailed by critics for debunking the myth that the American heartland had remained untouched by the social upheavals that shook the United States in the 1960s. The raw and haunting images taken in 1963, 1968, and 1971 document a youth culture gradually overwhelmed by self-destruction—and are as moving and unsettling today as they were when first published. Originally published as a limited paperback edition, then reissued in 1983 as a limited hardcover edition at the author’s request, this book sells for over a thousand dollars at rare book dealers. Now available in hardcover and paperback from Grove Press, this seminal work of photographic art and social history is once again accessible to the general public.
