# 2414
Sydney : James Fraser, 1984. Folio, boards in dustjacket, 143 pp.
illustrated throughout, previous owner's inscription to front free
endpaper, a very good copy. William Yang's honest and unabashed
portraits of Sydney in the 1970s and 80s record a time of cultural
renewal and new identity. Yang's photographs record the art and party
scene, celebrities, marginalised and overlooked urban characters, and
the first years of the gay and lesbian mardi gras.
