Description
In Memory of Memory A Romance by Marii︠a︡ Stepanova is a poignant and introspective exploration of cultural memory. Following the death of her aunt, the narrator embarks on a meticulous task of reassembling an apartment filled with artifacts from a century of life in Russia. These fragments - photographs, postcards, letters, diaries, and souvenirs - tell the story of how one family managed to survive the myriad persecutions and repressions of the last century. Stepanova's writing is imbued with rare intellectual curiosity and a soft-spoken, poetic voice, as she weaves together various forms of writing to create a vast panorama of ideas and personalities. Through her work, Stepanova offers a bold exploration of cultural and personal memory, one that is both deeply personal and universally relatable.
