Customer Reviews

An Immense Pleasure

What an immense pleasure! Each of the essays is exquisitely written, and if the reflections of remembering and forgetting don't evoke a torrent of emotions, pinch yourself to see if you're still alive. This book is a must read; a great gift!

thought-provoking investigation

I stumbled serendipitously on this splendid title in which a variety of authors investigate their personal relationship to memory, the mind, and memoir as literary form. The essays eventually echo and ricochet off one another as they explore this fascinating terrain. Highly recommended!
