Maria Stepanova’s unique portrait of a family is imbued with rare intellectual curiosity & a wonderfully soft-spoken, poetic voice.
The story of a seemingly ordinary Jewish family that somehow managed to survive the myriad persecutions & repressions of the last century. Following the death of her aunt, Maria Stepanova discovers a withered repository of a century of life in Russia: faded photographs, old postcards, letters, diaries, & heaps of souvenirs. In Memory of Memory combines these items with a vast panorama of ideas & personalities to offer a bold new exploration of cultural & personal memory.
In dialogue with writers like Roland Barthes, W. G. Sebald, Susan Sontag, & Osip Mandelstam, In Memory of Memory is imbued with rare intellectual curiosity & a wonderfully soft-spoken, poetic voice. Dipping into various forms — essay, fiction, memoir, travelogue, & historical documents — Stepanova assembles a vast panorama of ideas & personalities, offering an entirely new & bold exploration of cultural & personal memory.
"The past speaks with a multitude of voices & working with it is a collective process." — Maria Stepanova, International Booker Prize interview, 2021
