“Let me piece this together, scattered as it is across the lifespan of my memory. As if little by little, I can make it into something complete. Even though, quite often, my memories seem like an array of singular parts. Irregular fragments belonging to a brainteaser: some with holes in them; some with loops; some one-sided; some double-edged.”

From ‘What We Remember, What We Forget’– included in the showcase 

“What We Remember, What We Forget is a memoir about the power of reminiscence and the peril of forgetfulness. Themes of family secrets and social dilemmas, identity struggles and psychological reasoning, alienation and belonging, dysfunction and displacement, trauma and recovery prevail.”
