{"product_id":"in-memory-of-memory","title":"In Memory of Memory","description":"An exploration of life at the margins of history from one of Russia’s most exciting contemporary writers\nShortlisted for the 2021 International Booker Prize\nWinner of the MLA Lois Roth Translation Award\nWith the death of her aunt, the narrator is left to sift through an apartment full of faded photographs, old postcards, letters, diaries, and heaps of souvenirs: a withered repository of a century of life in Russia. Carefully reassembled with calm, steady hands, these shards tell the story of how a seemingly ordinary Jewish family somehow managed to survive the myriad persecutions and repressions of the last century.\nIn dialogue with writers 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 Dipping into various forms―essay, fiction, memoir, travelogue, and historical documents―Stepanova assembles a vast panorama of ideas and personalities and offers an entirely new and bold exploration of cultural and personal memory.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0811228835\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0811228835.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Stepanova, Maria\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
