The town’s name serves as the title of Davis’s newest book, which collects pictures taken in Normaltown and elsewhere in Georgia between 2019 and 2024. (He had not been back since his family left, in 1980.) In the course of a twenty-five-year career, Davis has never approached his work so autobiographically. “It was never about my inner world,” he told me. “It was always about what was out there, and ideas.”
