The text by Shawn Waldron, supervisor of Slim's photo archive, digs into the photographer's biography in unprecedented detail and reveals new information, while award-winning journalist, historian and New York Times best-selling author Lesley Blume provides historical context to Slim's career. In addition, Slim's former assistant and author Laura Hawk reveals the intricacies of her friendship with Slim, and historian, author and Vanity Fair editor Nick Foulkes examines Slim's influence on our current cultural moment.
