When photography was in its infancy, it was common for people to contract photographers to take lifelike images of their deceased family members. Lifelike is the story of Willard Rutz, an earnest photographer in the late 1800s who spends his career memorializing the loved ones of others while struggling to connect with loved ones of his own.Told in a series of first-person accounts by Willard and the people in his life, Lifelike is filled with highly emotional scenes of the memorial photography sessions that shape Willard's personality and delusions. With its themes of love, loss, and memories, real and imagined, it is a story readers will find heartbreaking and always fascinating.
