Bloodbath Nation
by Paul Auster
Bloodbath Nation memorializes the empty sites of several dozen mass shootings in the United States. The text is by American novelist Paul Auster and the photos, in black and white, by Spencer Ostrander, a photographer based in New York. Many countries have introduced strict gun laws to prevent mass shootings; the US has not, in principle because of the Second Amendment of US Constitution. The amendment states that "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
