Megan Marshall, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for biography, has long been revered for her narrative skills and deep insights into historical figures. In her new book “After Lives: On Biography and the Mysteries of the Human Heart” she takes those skills to her own art and life.
She does this in a series of six intertwined pieces with each one being a conversation between her own experiences and the broader forces of history. Marshall reinvents the personal essay as a portal to the past with its lessons for living into the future.
