Readalikes: If you enjoyed February's selection . . .

If you enjoyed Hold Still: A Memoir with Photographs by Sally Mann, then you might also like to read a couple of authors who Mann says influenced her photography and her writing, Marcel Proust and William Faulkner. You might also enjoy several books recommended by our discussion group members: On Photography by Susan Sontag, described by Sontag as "a progress of essays about the meaning and career of photographs"; Short Nights of the Shadow Catcher by Timothy Egan about American Indian portrait photographer Edward Curtis; and Prodigal Summer by Barbara Kingsolver, a novel set among the mountains and farms of southern Appalachia. And if you want to learn more about Mann and her art, check out the two award-nominated documentaries about her work, Blood Ties and What Remains.
