In dialogue with thinkers like Roland Barthes, W. G. Sebald, Susan Sontag, and Osip Mandelstam, In Memory of Memory 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.
