The publication foregrounds remembrance of the spoken and unspoken lives of its figures, supported by a team of editors and a diverse roster of contributor backgrounds across journalism, photography, art, and historical research.","# STRANGER'SGUIDE\n\n# STRANGERSGUIDE\n\nTHIS BOOK,BEING ABOUT WORK,IS,BYITS VERY NATURE,ABOUT VIOLENCE—to the spirit as zwellas to the body.It is about ulcers as well as accidents,about shouting matches as well asfistfghts,about nervous breakdowens as well as kicking the dog around.It is,above all (or beneath all),about daily humiliations.To survive the day is triumph enough for the walking wounded amongthe great many of us.It is about a search,too,for daily meaning as well as daily bread,forrecognition as well as cash,for astonishment rather than torpor;in short,for a sort of life ratherthan a Monday through Friday sort of dying.Perhaps immortality,too,is part of the quest.Tobe remembered was the werish,spoken and unspoken,of the heroes and heroines of this book.  \n—Studs Terkel  \nEDITOR IN CHIEFKira Brunner DonSPORTS/SENIOR EDITOREmily NemensLITERARY EDITORJoanna YasEDITOR AT LARGECourtney Desiree MorrisASSOCIATE EDITORLeslie Nguyen-OkwuASSOCIATE
