Smile: The Story of a Face

bySarah Ruhl

Smile is Sarah Ruhl's biographical portrait of the Story of a Face. Moving between close detail and context, the book explains the forces surrounding its subject and connects them to the wider field of biography & autobiography. Throughout, the author balances an accessible narrative with the complexity needed to understand motives, constraints, and disputed interpretations. Together, these elements make Smile an accessible guide to the subject and the questions it continues to raise. The approach makes a specialized subject understandable without stripping away its tensions or ambiguity.
