A
revealing
and
beautifully
written
memoir
and
family
history
from
acclaimed
photographer
Sally
Mann.
In
this
groundbreaking
book,
a
unique
interplay
of
narrative
and
image,
Mann's
preoccupation
with
family,
race,
mortality,
and
the
storied
landscape
of
the
American
South
are
revealed
as
almost
genetically
predetermined,
written
into
her
DNA
by
the
family
history
that
precedes
her.
Sorting
through
boxes
of
family
papers
and
yellowed
photographs
she
finds
more
than
she
bargained
for:
"deceit
and
scandal,
alcohol,
domestic
abuse,
car
crashes,
bogeymen,
clandestine
affairs,
dearly
loved
and
disputed
family
land
.
.
.
racial
complications,
vast
sums
of
money
made
and
lost,
the
return
of
the
prodigal
son,
and
maybe
even
bloody
murder."
In
lyrical
prose
and
startlingly
revealing
photographs,
she
crafts
a
totally
original
form
of
personal
history
that
has
the
page-turning
drama
of
a
great
novel
but
is
firmly
rooted
in
the
fertile
soil
of
her
own
life.

Recenzii
"Hold
Stillis
a
wild
ride
of
a
memoir.
Visceral
and
visionary.
Fiercely
beautiful.
My
kind
of

"One would not need to know Sally Mann's remarkable work as a photographer to be swept up in her memoirHold Still, which draws upon a family history so rife with jaw-dropping drama that it could provide the grist for a dozen novels. With prodigious intellect and a telling instinct for the exact detail that will reveal character or throw it into question, Mann delves into the treacherous territory of memory, mesmerized by the relentless dance of beauty and decay. In doing so, she manifests in prose the acuity of seeing that has propelled her to the top rank of contemporary artists."—Andrew Solomon,author of Far From the Tree and The Noonday Demon
"Photographer Sally Mann's bookHold Stillis one of the great portraits of the American South. Written in her pitch perfect prose style, it is a textbook of illumination and desire for anyone who hears the siren call of art beckoning to them. It's southern to the bone, hell on wheels.Hold Stillis a masterpiece."—Pat Conroy,author of The Death of Santini and South of Broad
"InHold Still, Sally Mann demonstrates a talent for storytelling that rivals her talent for photography. The book is riveting, ravishing -- diving deep into family history to find the origins of art. I couldn't take my eyes off of it."—Ann Patchett,author of Bel Canto and This is the Story of a Happy Marriage
"For three decades Sally Mann has captured images that are unique, haunting, beautiful, disturbing, stark - it would take a mid-sized thesaurus to hold all the adjectives that have been used to describe both the art and the artist. InHold Still, she wraps her prose around her pictures, revealing a fine talent for writing and a rich family history."—John Grisham,author of The Firm and Sycamore Row
"Sally Mann'sHold Stillis just like her pictures: forthright, adventurous, loving, fearless, beautiful, intimate, and somehow uncanny. That means it's probably just like her."—Luc Sante,author ofLow LifeandKill All Your Darlings
"What I admire most about Sally Mann's new book is not her ability to write captivating sentences--she does. It's the honesty and fearlessness, the two mixed together, compelling her to own up to her mistakes, to acknowledge her winnings, to accept her losses (and those of her family). For this quality alone,Hold Stilldeserves a fixed place in the library of American memoir."—Paul Hendrickson,author of Hemingway's Boat: Everything He Loved in Life, and Lost
"There has never been a book like this. At once a poetics of place, a work of deep history, a bildungsroman, and an acute inquiry into the big subjects: love, family, other animals, the nature of creativity. It is sublime. It's also very funny. Haunting and haunted,Hold Stillis the memoir of an artist that is art itself."—Melissa Holbrook Pierson,author of The Place You Love is Gone
"This spectacular modern memoir reads like a sweeping gothic novel, filled with mystery, violence, controversy, and, of course, love in all its forms. It is a literary family album enlivened by many of the images in the stories told. A Southern work, it is also universally accessible, as all of Sally Mann's work is, for she reaches deep into her ancestral headwaters and the twisted rivers of human remembrance. A triumph."—Jamie Lee Curtis,actress
"Few photographers of any time or place have matched Sally Mann's steadiness of simple eyesight, her serene technical brilliance, and the clearly communicated eloquence she derives from her subjects, human and otherwise - subjects observed with an ardor that is all but indistinguishable from love."—Reynolds Price,Time
