Richard Prince: American Prayer is an accompanying volume that expands upon the presentation. Literary excerpts complement illustrations of artworks, showing the influence of the texts and Prince''s book collection, including rare volumes such as Naked Lunch, Jack Kerouac''s rolled manuscript for Big Sur, and editions of Vladimir Nabokov''s Lolita in several languages.
