Tim Page: The Final Page : The Last Interview

A final testament from one of the giants of American war photography

British-born photographer Tim Page (1944–2022) has been called the original gonzo journalist, allegedly the inspiration behind Dennis Hopper’s character in Apocalypse Now and the man who brought the 60s counterculture to Saigon. Four times wounded in Southeast Asia and twice declared dead, Page became legendary as a freelance photographer who seemingly knew no fear and whose Vietnam pictures appeared in publications around the world.
The Final Page contains the last interview that Page gave before his death. Speaking with American writer Jacques Menasche, Page, facing the end, shares an elegiac remembrance of bygone times, as well as the scars—both psychic and physical—that he carried. The book includes images from Vietnam by Page, portraits of the photographer by his friend and editor Stephen Dupont, and a personal recollection by his colleague Martin Stuart-Fox. The result is a paean to an extraordinary man and an extraordinary life.
