This journal-size volume features original black-and-white photographs and transcribed interviews by Lyon, made from 1963 to 1967, when he was a member of the Outlaws gang. Authentic, personal and uncompromising, Lyon’s depiction of individuals on the outskirts of society offers a gritty yet humane perspective that subverts more commercialized treatments of Americana. Akin to the documentary style of 1960s-era New Journalism made famous by writers such as Hunter S. Thompson, Joan Didion and Tom Wolfe, Lyon’s photography is saturation reporting at its finest. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Bikeriders\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is a touchstone publication of 1960s counterculture, crucially defining the vision of the outlaw biker as found in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eEasy Rider\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and countless other movies and photobooks.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Desierto Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56619687346342,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/3465\/5654\/files\/bikeriders.webp?v=1781032595","url":"https:\/\/249f2c-1b.myshopify.com\/products\/the-bikeriders-by-danny-lyon","provider":"DESIERTO BOOKS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
