Description

In the Dark Room by Brian Dillon explores how memory works emotionally and culturally. The author's personal experience of losing both parents informs his interpretation of the relics of his childhood, drawing on lessons from literature, philosophy and visual art. Dillon pieces together the fragments of his past in a singularly original and arresting piece of writing. This reissue includes a new foreword from prize-winning biographer Frances Wilson, adding depth to the author's exploration of memory and its emotional resonance. Through his work, Dillon sheds light on the complex relationships between memory, culture and identity.
