When it first appeared in 1971, Larry Clark's groundbreaking book Tulsa sparked immediate controversy across the nation. Its graphic depictions of sex, violence, and drug abuse in the youth culture of Oklahoma were acclaimed by critics for stripping bare the myth that Middle America had been immune to the social convulsions that rocked America in the 1960s. The raw, haunting images taken in 1963, 1968, and 1971 document a youth culture progressively overwhelmed by self-destruction -- and are as moving and disturbing today as when they first appeared. Originally published in a limited paperback version and republished in 1983 as a limited hardcover edition commissioned by the author, rare-book dealers sell copies of this book for more than a thousand dollars. Now in both hardcover and paperback editions from Grove Press, this seminal work of photographic art and social history is once again available to the general public.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Staggering, poignant, raw, compassionate, and utterly honest . . . Tulsa is a major work, almost too good . . . to be true. . . . It is an intense, visceral, wrenching statement."

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Collection and good quality book
Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2024

Obviously I already loved the photographs before I purchased this book. However seeing them printed is such a better experience than seeing them online. The book is of good quality and is surprisingly thin. Only issue is that it holds fingerprints pretty easily on the covers… but it’s great otherwise.

I love Larry Clark's work, as a photographer and a filmmaker. His work captures that raw, real sexuality. His work is both beautiful and obscene, it can be polarizing, but thought provoking.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not for the faint of heart.
Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2010

A very disturbing series of photographs that tells an interesting story of depraved behavior. I enjoyed the selection of photos that I saw at the Denver art museum so I ordered the whole book. I thought I knew what I was in for but some of the photos are still hard for me to look at. While there are a lot of photos that are just plain creepy there are some that are also just plain interesting and even clever. I'm glad I bought it, but I sure don't leaf through it everyday.

I knew David Roper and Bobby Dean Morris in the early 70’s. I didn’t know about them shooting up. I wonder if they are still alive. David was a very handsome man. I didn’t know much about him except he hung out with other people I knew. Bobby Dean was always nice around me. I never saw the wilder side of him. He had some beautiful Harleys, a three wheeler and beautiful old cars he had redone. We use to ride around on his three wheeler Harley. I wish the photographer would have put the names with the other photos. I only knew two of them.

I’m not much of a student of photography, but I found the images in this book extremely moving, almost hurtful and definitely sad. I have a few other books of late 20th century photos, and none seem to have the power that this slim volume does.

I bought this book because I'm from Tulsa. I had no clue what it was about. It is a photography book. The book is full of pictures of drug use, guns and nudity, so if that offends you then this book is a no no.

Malgré les années ce livre a gardé la puissance de ses premiers jours, c'est un journal qui documente la vie d'un groupe de jeunes adultes, ou plutôt leurs décrépitudes, drogue, sexe et rock'n'roll, on comprends mieux le sens des films de ce photographe-réalisateur qu'il deviendra. Un grand classique de la photographie.

Reviewed in Brazil on January 26, 2018

Larry Clark ficou famoso no mundo por seus filmes ficcionais sobre o universo junkie dos jovens, principalmente Kids (que fala sobre a AIDS). Mas antes de tornar-se cineasta, foi um fotógrafo influente que retratava de maneira crua, mas poética, o mesmo universo de seus filmes. Em Tulsa, ele mostra um grupo de jovens do qual ele fazia parte da cidade que dá nome ao livro Tulsa, e que utilizavam diversas drogas (principalmente heroína). Larry mostra o uso da droga, suas consequências, o estilo de vida desses jovens e etc. É um livro muito relevante na história da fotografia documental e influenciou fotógrafos de sua época e muitos que vieram depois pela sua crônica e estética visual única e inovadora para a época. A edição é precisa e chocou o mercado editorial na época de seu lançamento. A impressão do livro é muito boa, o único adendo fica para o material da capa, que é bastante sensível ao toque (toda vez que você segura o livro, fica a marca da sua mão nele...o que, convenhamos, não é nada demais perto dos outros inúmeros atributos do livro).
