From this prodigiously talented writer comes a stunningly original
fictional life of the German director F. W. Murnau (1888-1931).
Murnau ranks as a founding father of the cinema, not least for his
legendary horror film, "Nosferatu." Here he is revealed as a
hermetic genius who turns against himself, becoming in a sense his
own vampire. What shadows Jim Shepard's Murnau--through the
airfields of the Great War to Berlin in the twenties and to the
virtual invention of filmmaking--is the conflict between his
impossibly high ideals and his heartbreaking memories of love
betrayed and love lost. From provincial Germany through Hollywood
in its early days to the South Seas, "Nosferatu" charts a life at
once artistic, intellectual, and deeply human. Ron Hansen provides
an introduction to this Bison Books edition.
