Beschreibung

"If pictures are worth a thousand words then just how many words, and what kinds of words, might they inspire? What stories would they tell and would they be happy or sad, elegant or savage? Intimate, philosophical and moving, Snapshot features powerful meditations from 30 well-known writers, each of whom draws on a photograph from their personal archive to inspire a short essay. Charged and intimate, this collection brings together reflections from such authors as Teju Cole, Celeste Ng, Dinty Moore, Sven Birkerts, Hilton Als, Sonia Livingston, Roxane Gay, Melissa Febos, Deborah Levy and C. N. Lester"--
