Carefully reassembled with calm, steady hands, these shards tell the story of an ordinary family that somehow managed to survive the myriad persecutions and repressions of the last century. The family's pursuit of a quiet, civilized, ordinary life--during such atrocious times--is itself a strange odyssey.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn dialogue with thinkers like Roland Barthes, W. G. Sebald, Susan Sontag, and Osip Mandelstam, \u003cem\u003eIn Memory of Memory\u003c\/em\u003e is imbued with rare intellectual curiosity and a wonderfully soft-spoken, poetic voice. Dipping into various genres--essay, fiction, memoir, travelogue, and history--Stepanova assembles a vast panorama of ideas and personalities and offers a bold exploration of cultural and personal memory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780811228831\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maria Stepanova","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53356305023283,"sku":"9780811228831","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/3636\/7411\/files\/9780811228831.jpg?v=1778843573","url":"https:\/\/bookabaloo.com\/products\/in-memory-of-memory","provider":"Bookabaloo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
