Why people recommend it
Hold Still by Sally Mann is a 2015 memoir by the acclaimed photographer that looks back at her life, family history, and the evolution of the medium of photography. John Williams mentioned reading the memoir on The Book Review while discussing summer reading lists. Dwight Garner also referenced the book on the same podcast, using it to challenge the common assumption that teenage years cannot make for compelling reading in memoirs, specifically pointing to the strength of the sections covering the author's youth. Greg Cowles similarly discussed the publication on The Book Review when reviewing non-fiction bestseller lists, highlighting how the memoir reflects on the artist's past and the changing nature of photography over time. The book has continued to resonate with critics and readers alike as a profound exploration of art, memory, and southern gothic sensibilities through the lens of a deeply introspective visual artist.
