Description
Lifescapes: A Biographer's Search for the Soul by Ann Wroe is a thought-provoking exploration of the art and impossibility of capturing life on the page. Through her own experiences as a biographer and obituarist, as well as those of others she has encountered, Wroe reflects on what makes a life and how it lingers after death. This book is a unique blend of memoir, biography, observation, and poetry that seeks to answer the fundamental question posed by the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley: "What is life?" With its rare imagination, eye for detail, and witty writing, Lifescapes offers a deeply personal and luminous exploration of this question.
