Description
Let me take you down the thin cobblestoned streets of Bouillon, a Belgian border town with a rich and complex past. This is a place where neighbours might murder each other over misfortune, and where the lines between charm and menace are blurred. In "Other People's Countries", Patrick McGuinness weaves together a meditation on place, time and memory, revealing the intricate web of stories that have shaped this town and its inhabitants. From Marie Bodard's sweetshop to the hotel where Verlaine and Rimbaud hid out, McGuinness explores the spaces that people populate with their memories, and how these can both unite and divide us. This is a book that will make you revisit your own memories in a new and surprising way, as it invites you to explore the hidden corners of other people's countries.
