About the Book

A brilliant, complex, and layered story, The Shadow Catcher takes its title from the name bestowed upon Edward Curtis by the American Indians when he showed them photographs of themselves. In this remarkable novel, Wiggins weaves parallel tales of this famous artist and an unsung soldier, husband, and father. With its vast Western landscape and Wiggins' mesmerizing first-person narration, The Shadow Catcher calls to mind the best of the exploring, voyaging writers-Twain, Melville, Hemingway, and Steinbeck.

Review :
According to conventional wisdom, a picture is worth roughly a thousand words. In The Shadow Catcher, the assessed value is considerably higher. And what words they are. -- "Christian Science Monitor" Bernadette Dunne is a superb narrator for this enigmatic novel...Dunne is also expert at voicing accents without resorting to stereotypes, creating authentic Native American and Mexican characters. -- "AudioFile" Curtis emerges as a fascinating, complex figure, one who inhabited any number of American contradictions. Suffused with Marianne's crackling social commentary and deceptively breezy self-discovery, Wiggins's eighth novel is a heartfelt tour de force. -- "Publishers Weekly (starred review)" Marianne Wiggins is one of our most adventuresome and enterprising novelists...her style is seductive and alluring...The Shadow Catcher is both mesmerizing and convincing. -- "Los Angeles Times" The best book of the year is the arch and luminous Marianne Wiggins novel The Shadow Catcher...an old-fashioned detective story with a gung-ho narrative momentum. Along the way, The Shadow Catcher manages to wax sagacious about families, the American West, death, time, memory, the subjugation of Native Americans, and the rise of photography as the chief medium by which we now know the world-or think we do, that is...Be glad you live in a world that includes this prickly, magnificent novel. -- "Chicago Tribune" Thought-provoking takes on truth, myth, and the need to escape. -- "Library Journal" Wiggins is a writer who paints elegant pictures with words...[With] insights, realistic pathos, and human situations, this creative novel will not disappoint. -- "Booklist (starred review)"
