Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

As I listened to this biography, I found myself drawn into Man Ray's world, where nothing was as it seemed. Peter Lerman's narration is a perfect match for Lubow's writing, bringing a sense of calm to even the most turbulent moments. His ability to convey the subtleties of Man Ray's personality is impressive, especially in scenes where the artist navigates the fraught waters of his own identity. What struck me most, however, was the way Lubow balances the artist's public and private selves, revealing a Man Ray who is both more and less than the sum of his parts.
