Trona : armpit of America /
Tobias Zielony.
- 16 unnumbered pages : colour illustrations ; 31 cm
"Berlin-based photographer Tobias Zielony has visited the small, ramshackle Californian chemistry city because it is 'possibly the worst place in America, if not the world', to quote a blog; his pictures show a small town entirely in the grasp of producers, dealers and consumers of a crystalline drug that keeps people on their toes for days and lets them age decades in the course of a mere few months. Chemists call it methamphetamine, addicts call it 'crystal', or 'meth', or both; politicians call it the new American pandemic." (Peter Richter in Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung)
