The World at Work
We are thrilled to announce our first-ever photography issue!
The time we spend working is time spent serving, agonizing, creating, thinking and toiling. In this 22nd print issue of Stranger’s Guide, you’ll find stunning photo essays from Nigeria, China, Venezuela, and New York—all exploring the theme of work and labor. We also feature personal reflections on daily work from around the globe: a funeral reciter in Iran, a train conductor in Ukraine, an American Marine in Afghanistan and a bodyguard in Atlanta. Plus, an exclusive new piece of fiction by Maurice Carlos Ruffin, written specifically for this print issue.
