Reviews for Wisconsin Death Trip

A darkly agitated psycho-photo-historical journey back through the small Wisconsin town of Black River Falls during the 1890's Depression - via local archives, newspaper excerpts, and the Arbus-like eye of the town photographer, Charles Van Schaick, whose cache of some 3000 pristine glass plate negatives is extensively reproduced here. Lesy, a young historian, has assembled his source material with the good novelist's sense of impact and the psychologist's urge to probe. Unique turn-of-the-century Americana. (Kirkus Reviews)
