About this product

Product Information

From the highly acclaimed author of Out of Egypt and Call Me by Your Name , a series of linked essays on memory by "the poet of disappointed love--and of the city" ( New York Times Book Review ). In these fourteen essays Andre Aciman, one of the most poignant stylists of his generation, dissects the experience of loss, moving from his forced departure from Alexandria as a teenager, though his brief stay in Europe and finally to the home he's made (and half invented) on Manhattan's Upper West Side. From False Papers : We remember not because we have something we wish to go back to, nor because memories are all we have. We remember because memory is our most intimate, most familiar gesture. Most people are convinced I love Alexandria. In truth, I love remembering Alexandria. For it is not Alexandria that is beautiful. Remembering is beautiful.

"Over and over in the course of these linked essays Aciman shows himself wanting to be elsewhere . . . You don't need to have lost an Alexandria to understand what he does with place and time and memory. After all, we are all exiles in a way-from our own childhoods, our own pasts, if nothing else. It is that remembered aspect of ourselves, that shadowy other life, that Andre Aciman's new book so piercingly addresses." -- Wendy Lesser, NYTBR "The incomplete and unstable state of nostalgia is what Aciman tries to fix in this beautiful memoir. He lives in his mind. But sharing that mind is a rare privilege." -- Barbara Fisher, The Boston Sunday Globe "One feels that if Proust had not existed Mr Aciman would have invented him." -- Richard Bernstein, The New York Times, The incomplete and unstable state of nostalgia is what Aciman tries to fix in this beautiful memoir.

    Andre Aciman

    Andre Aciman is one of my favorite writers. Not only is his language exquisite -- remarkable for someone whose first language was not English --, but his insights into human psychology are compelling. I highly recommend Aciman!.
