The Shadow Catcher

Marianne Wiggins puts an innovative spin on the historical fiction biography with "The Shadow Catcher," the story of the life of American West photographer Edward Curtis. Narrated in the first-person by a reimagined writer named Marianne Wiggins, who turns in her newly completed novel about Curtis to a Hollywood agent looking to make a biopic, two narratives interweave in a resonating exploration of history and family. The narrating Marianne dispels Curtis's esteemedpublic reputation as a servant to his nation, while also exploring her own family's history through the story of her father John Wiggins, to create an ambitious novel of our collective history.
