I used to give the first-thing-Monday-morning lecture on memory in Michaelmas term, and it had to be a lively one to keep the students awake. And in the hope they might retain even some of it. All that Holocaust stuff is very familiar to me, and often hard-going, though worth it. Ahhh, the memories!

You read such interesting things and I love the way you write your thoughts about what you read.

Harriet Harvey Wood & A.S. Byatt) sitting unread on my bookshelves… But this one sounds really interesting. It seems to touch on memory as myth-maker, would it be fair to say that?

Whoooooaaaaa. You’re blowing my mind right now. I’m sad they didn’t take your essay! It would have been so cool to read an essay of yours!

Yes! I think as long as you’re reconciled to the fact that not every essay is accessible to non-specialists, you’ll enjoy the book.

It was a really awesome and interesting conference. I wrote an essay for it (about medieval memory in the works of Julien Gracq) but they didn’t think it was sufficiently theory-heavy, so they didn’t accept it for the book! Wow, this is a small blogosphere.

Memory is such an elusive thing; maybe I’ll be able to get something out of the less technical essays!
