Description

Lewis Hyde explores the healing effect of forgetfulness in this thought-provoking work. A Primer for Forgetting challenges the cultural emphasis on memory and instead presents forgetfulness as a potential source of peace and rebirth. Drawing on a wide range of sources, from ancient myths to personal experiences, Hyde examines the complex relationship between memory, identity, and creativity. By reevaluating the role of forgetfulness in our lives, he offers a fresh perspective on how we can harness its power to transform ourselves and our world. Through his unique blend of scholarship, autobiography, and social criticism, Hyde presents a compelling case for embracing forgetfulness as a necessary part of living a fulfilling life.
