One of the foremost literary portrait photographers of recent decades, Beowulf Sheehan has a gift for images that are honest yet dignified, natural but memorable. With a foreword by Salman Rushdie, this collection contains dozens of photographs of such figures as Cormac McCarthy, Roxane Gay, Tom Wolfe, Karl Ove Knausgaard, Louis Erdrich, Jesmyn Ward, Neil Gaiman, Joan Didion, J.K. Rowling, Paul Auster, and Walter Isaacson, among many others.

"Beowulf Sheehan is a poet, working with light."—George Saunders
