Description In these 14 essays, the author, one of the most poignant stylists of his generation, dissects the experience of loss, moving from his forced departure from Alexandria, Egypt as a teenager through his brief stay in Europe, and finally to the home he's made on Manhattan's Upper West Side.
From the highly acclaimed author of Out of Egypt and Call Me by Your Name, a series of linked essays on memory by the poet of disappointed love--and of the city (New York Times Book Review). In these fourteen essays Andre Aciman, one of the most poignant stylists of his generation, dissects the experience of loss, moving from his forced departure from Alexandria as a teenager, though his brief stay in Europe and finally to the home he's made (and half invented) on Manhattan's Upper West Side. From False Papers: We remember not because we have something we wish to go back to, nor because memories are all we have. We remember because memory is our most intimate, most familiar gesture. Most people are convinced I love Alexandria. In truth, I love remembering Alexandria. For it is not Alexandria that is beautiful. Remembering is beautiful.
A regular contributor to The New Yorker, The New York Review of Books, and The New Republic, Andre Aciman was born in Alexandria; raised in Egypt, Italy, and France; and educated at Harvard. His New York Times bestselling books include the novels Call Me By Your Name and Find Me, as well as the nonfiction books Out of Egypt and Eight White Nights. Aciman teaches literature at Bard and lives in Manhattan.
