Curtis, was named one of the best books of the year by Publishers Weekly and was awarded the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction. The Wall Street Journal said, "Egan fills his chronicle with bright turns of phrase and radiant descriptions, making both places and people come alive...A sweeping tale about two vanishing ways of life."

 The Hickory Stick Book Club - "Short Nights of the Shadow Catcher" The Hickory Stick Bookshop Book Club's next meeting: Monday, April 14th @ 6:30 pm We will be discussing Short nights of the Shadow Catcher by Timothy Egan ---------------------------------------- Edward Curtis was charismatic, handsome, and a famous portrait photographer, the Annie Leibovitz of his time. He moved in rarefied circles, a friend to presidents, vaudeville stars, leading thinkers. But when he was thirty-two years old, in 1900, he gave it all up to pursue his Great Idea: to capture on film the continent's original inhabitants before the old ways disappeared. Curtis spent the next three decades documenting the stories and rituals of more than eighty North American tribes. It took tremendous perseverance - ten years alone to persuade the Hopi to allow him to observe their Snake Dance ceremony. And the undertaking changed him profoundly, from detached observer to outraged advocate. Curtis would amass more than 40,000 photographs and 10,000 audio recordings, and he is credited with making the first narrative documentary film. In the process, the charming rogue with the grade school education created the most definitive archive of the American Indian. ====================== "A vivid exploration of one man's lifelong obsession with an idea . . . Egan's spirited biography might just bring Curtis the recognition that eluded him in life." -- Washington Post "A darn good yarn. Egan is a muscular storyteller and his book is a rollicking page-turner with a colorfully drawn hero." -- San Francisco Chronicle "A riveting biography of an American original." - Boston Globe ------------------------------------------- Questions? Please call 860-868-0525.

Timothy Egan Timothy Egan debat Short Nights of the Shadow Catcher: The Epic Life and Immortal Photographs of Edward Curtis.Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Seating is on a space-available basis. Edward Curtis was dashing, charismatic, and famous—and a passionate mountaineer—until he gave it all up in 1900 to capture the Native American nation on film before it disappeared. In Short Nights of the Shadow Catcher, Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Timothy Egan tells the untold story behind Curtis’ iconic photographs, his struggles to document more than 80 tribes, and his tremendous perseverance (it took Curtis six years to convince the Hopi to allow him into their Snake Dance ceremony). The undertaking changed Curtis profoundly; he would die penniless in Hollywood—but the charming rogue’s adventure created one of America’s most stunning cultural achievements. About the author Timothy Egan worked for The New York Times for 18 years – as Pacific Northwest correspondent and a national enterprise reporter. In 2001, he was part of the Pulitzer Prize-winning team that wrote the series “How Race Is Lived in America.” He is the author of several books, including “The Worst Hard Time,” a history of the Dust Bowl, for which he won the National Book Award, and most recently, “The Big Burn: Teddy Roosevelt and the Fire That Saved America.” He writes a weekly column, "Outposts," for the New York Times.
