Winner Blurb:
“Vincent and Theo” depicts the interdependence of the two Dutch brothers, from their childhood in an austere nineteenth century Dutch parsonage to the Parisian fin de siècle demimonde, as Theo champions and pragmatically supports his brother as he battles the demons of both mental illness and familial expectations.
“Heiligman builds on the brothers’ lifelong correspondence, punctuating Theo’s critical role in Vincent’s creative output and drawing new inferences about biographical insight for Vincent’s paintings,” said YALSA Nonfiction Award Chair, Wendy Stephens.
