An astonishing and beautiful book about the intersection of art and passion. It weaves together a fictionalized account of the life of photographer Edward Curtis with a faux "memoir" of the author's life. I loved the book as a whole, but I thought the Curtis sections were stronger than the Wiggins sections. And there's a mystery bit, concerning a man who might or might not be the fictionalized Wiggins' father, the resolution of which I think doesn't entirely make sense. Still, I found the writing lyrical, the story thought-provoking, and the characters well-drawn and moving.
