Description
Richard Billingham's 'Ray's a Laugh' is considered one of the most important contemporary photobooks from Britain. Centered around Billingham's working‑class family who live in a cramped Birmingham high‑rise tenement apartment and his father Ray — a chronic alcoholic — these candid snapshots describe their daily lives in a visual diary that is raw, intimate, touching and often uncomfortably humorous. Books on Books #18 contains every page spread from this classic book including a contemporary essay by Charlotte Cotton.
