"Working from Memory" is a collection of stories by William Christenberry, exploring his memories of the Deep South in conversations with author Susanne Lange. Through a fusion of personal experiences and significant political and cultural events, Christenberry’s stories are enriched by his own photographs. Born in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Christenberry's work is deeply influenced by his Southern upbringing, the impact of the Great Depression, and the photographs of Walker Evans. Although initially a painter, his Brownie camera became integral to his art. His international reputation is significant, with his work displayed in numerous museums globally.
