Excellent read submitted by redwood on August 1, 2019, 8:20am A biography by Rebecca Solnit doesn't begin and end with its subject--it sends out tendrils until you've learned about an entire era. And who wouldn't want to read something with such perfect phrases as "a badly taxidermized badger" describing the look of Muybridge's benefactor Leland Stanford?
