Reader recommendation: Short Nights of the Shadow Catcher

Monitor readers share their favorite book picks.

By K.B. (Ken) Whitley, Marfa, Tex.

I very recently finished reading Short Nights of the Shadow Catcher: The Epic Life and Immortal Photographs of Edward Curtis by Timothy Egan. This biography of a man obsessed tells not only the story of his life but perhaps more importantly the story of our treatment of the vanishing culture of the North American Indian.
