Now in paperback, USC College English professor Marianne Wiggins’ critically acclaimed novel is a story within a story. Part memoir, part fiction, Wiggins tells of a reimagined Marianne Wiggins who is piecing together the life of early 20th century photographer Edward Curtis, while figuring out who is posing as her father in a Las Vegas hospital. Named “A Best Book of the Year” by several publications, including the Los Angeles Times and the San Francisco Chronicle, Wiggins reflects on families, death, memory, time and the rise of photography as a means to understand the world..
