“Somewhere in the tangle of the subject’s burden and the
subject’s desire is your story.”—Alex Tizon Every
human being has an epic story. The late Pulitzer Prize–winning
writer Alex Tizon told the epic stories of marginalized
people—from lonely immigrants struggling to forge a new American
identity to a high school custodian who penned a New Yorker short
story. Edited by Tizon’s friend and former colleague Sam Howe
Verhovek, Invisible People collects the best of Tizon’s rich,
empathetic accounts—including “My Family’s Slave,” the
Atlantic magazine cover story about the woman who raised him and
his siblings under conditions that amounted to indentured
servitude. Mining his Filipino American background, Tizon tells the
stories of immigrants from Cambodia and Laos. He gives a
fascinating account of the Beltway sniper and insightful profiles
of Surfers for Jesus and a man who tracks UFOs. His articles—many
originally published in the Seattle Times and the Los Angeles
Times—are brimming with enlightening details about people who
existed outside the mainstream’s field of vision. In their
introductions to Tizon’s pieces, New York Times executive editor
Dean Baquet, Atlantic magazine editor in chief Jeffrey
Goldberg, Pulitzer Prize winners Kim Murphy and Jacqui Banaszynski,
and others salute Tizon’s respect for his subjects and the beauty
and brilliance of his writing. Invisible People is a loving tribute
to a journalist whose search for his own identity prompted him to
chronicle the lives of others.
