- Summary:
- Schultz veers from traditional biography to interpret photographer Diane Arbus' life through the prism of four central mysteries: her outcast affinity, her sexuality, the secrets she kept and shared, and her suicide. He seeks not to diagnose Arbus, but to discern some of the private motives behind her public works and acts.
