Danny Lyon: The Bikeriders

by Danny Lyon

  

ISBN: 9781597112642

First published in 1968, The Bikeriders explores firsthand the stories and characters of the Chicago Outlaws Motorcycle Club. The journal-size title features original black-and-white photographs and transcribed interviews made from 1963 to 1967, when Danny Lyon was a member of the Outlaws gang. Authentic, personal, and uncompromising, Lyon's depiction of individuals on the outskirts of society offers a gritty yet humanistic view that subverts the commercialized image of Americana. Akin to the documentary style of 1960s-era New Journalism, made famous by writers such as Joan Didion, Hunter S. Thompson, and Tom Wolfe, Lyon's work, like theirs, demonstrates humanitarian interests, advocacy, and "saturation reporting." The importance of his work and our interest in the subject is reinforced by Lyon's immersion in his subject.
