About this title

Review:

A sensitive but deeply provocative psychobiography. (Vogue.com)

Schultz is a sharp, lucid writer.He proceeds with a sense of reflection, perspective, and nuance. (NPR.org)

He eschews the typical biography and in doing so, illuminates his nebulous subject better than any biographer before him. (Brooklyn Rail)

Exceptional prose, illuminating psychological theory, and the visceral memories of those who knew her add up to a haunting portrait of Arbus as a tenacious and quixotic artist whose outre photographs blaze on in all their strange romance, protest, and longing. (Booklist)

Poignant and provocative, An Emergency in Slow Motion offers an entirely new way of relating to and understanding one of the most revered and influential postmodern photographers, in the process raising timeless and universal questions about otherness, the human condition, and the quest for making peace with the self. (Brainpickings.org)
