In It Don't Mean a Thing the photographic world of Saul Leiter echoes the writing of Paul Auster: each of them depicts, in his own way, the urban landscape of New York and its inhabitants. Leiter's pictures in colour and in black and white, several of them never published before, show a misty city in which the solitude of its occupants appears with melancholy, while Auster's narrative runs through the pictures and paces their reading, bringing a second, more personal and more animated point of view. The text is given in English in the first part of the volume and in Japanese in the second. The Gould Collection specialises in volumes in which contemporary photographers and writers are set in dialogue.
