The Shadow Catcher by Marianne Wiggins
Marianne Wiggins turns her extraordinary literary imagination to the American West, where the life of legendary photographer Edward S. Curtis is the basis for a resonant exploration of history and family, landscape and legacy.
"Wiggins writes with a feverish brilliance..close to prophetic brilliance."
-- Los Angeles Times Book Review
"Marianne Wiggins dares to make fictions that stand in the face of heart-cracking circumstance, fictions that, in fact, resound with hearts shattering."
-- The Washington Post Book World
"The author can make you weep in a single sentence...The events and relationships are rendered on the page with an immediacy that catches you up short."
-- The Boston Globe
"Wiggins is a writer of substantial gifts."
-- The New York Times Book Review
"Marianne Wiggins does not so much tell a story as make her reader live it...She renews our sense of what prose fiction can do."
-- The Sunday Times (London)
"Marianne Wiggins has...a passion to hurl herself into a continental unknown, to seek, misstep, recover and push on, while noticing every blade of grass along the way...the mark of a true epic endeavor."
