If pictures are worth a thousand words, what kinds of words might they inspire? What stories would they tell and would they be joyful or sad, elegant or savage?

Snapshots features 36 such meditations from a diverse group of writers, each of whom draws on a photograph from their personal archive to inspire a short essay.

Intimate and powerful, these reflections exhibit a range of sensibilities and experiences, offering unique insight into the lives and interests of both established and emerging authors. Expressing a dynamic array of styles, relationships, landscapes, and preoccupations, Snapshots is an album for our life and times.

The book includes pieces from the writers below:

- Emilie Pascale Beck - Suzanne Berne - Aimee Bender - Sven Birkerts - Kate Carroll De Gutes - Stuart Dybek - Alex Espinoza - Lynell George - Amy Gerstler - Tod Goldberg - Hannah Howard - Vanessa Hua - Pico Iyer - Wayne Koestenbaum - Major Jackson - Leslie Jamison - Dinah Lenney - Alex Marzano-Lesnevich - Aimee Liu - Sonja Livingston - Attica Locke - Dinty W.
