Summary Photographer Sally 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 this riveting memoir, a unique interplay of narrative and image, Mann's abiding concerns - family, race, mortality, and the storied landscape of the American South - are revealed as almost genetically predetermined, written into her DNA by a colorful cast of characters who came before her."--Front dust jacket flap.
Bibliography, etc. Note Includes bibliographical references (page 478).
