"The Perfect Childhood" is a photobook by Larry Clark, one of America's leading photographers. Clark is a master photographer who represents youth culture and subculture and remains immensely popular in Japan. Born and raised in the rural town of Tulsa, Oklahoma, Clark was addicted to drugs for about three years starting at the age of 14, continuously injecting amphetamines, and he published a photobook of this period, "TULSA" (1971). In 1995, he made his directorial debut with the film "KIDS". This book is Clark's fourth photobook and is composed of his own photographs interwoven with reproductions of media, including a portrait of a young skater, black and white photographs from the same period as "Tulsa" in the late 1960s, articles on juvenile crime, letters from young people addressed to Clark, and clippings of idolized young people such as River Phoenix and Jay Ferguson. As depicted in his later film "KIDS", this book documents the various situations surrounding sensitive boys.
