[Leica] Help in finding a book

["Stewart, Alistair" <AStewart@gigaweb.com>]

Team Lug,

I would like to draw upon your collective knowledge to try and find a book
about which I know very little. (!)

I saw it on the bookshelves in B&N (photography section) soon after I moved
to the USA in July '94. I'm guessing I would have seen it sometime in '95.
Could be a year either side.

Here goes. It's (all? mostly?) B&W, probably by a young German photographer,
and as I recall, is almost a visual diary of parts of his life,
friends/family, domestic settings, etc - but the images were not cluttered.
The part that I'm interested in, and the only real clue that I can offer, is
a discontinuous series of photos of his wife, culminating in a final full
length photo, almost full frontal, of her looking very thin, standing naked
in a doorway in their house.  She is somewhere in her 20's or 30's. It is
the last (if I remember right) photo that is shown of her. Soon after it was
taken, she committed suicide.

So that's all I can remember. Anyone out there recognize it?

thanks

Alistair
