Forgetting
Autor Frederika Amalia Finkelstein Traducere de Isabel Cout, Christopher Elsonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 noi 2023
Forgetting is a brief but searing sojourn inside the mind of Alma as she navigates the complexity of the past and future within her identity.
On her nighttime wanderings through a Paris saturdated with cultural and historical meaning, she begins the slow work of grieving for her grandfather, a Holocaust survivor, and begins to unravel the ways that his experience continues to reverbrate across generations.
The journey, both inward and outward, simple and infinitely varied, brings Alma to reconsider her whole life and the circumstances that led to her very birth. In Forgetting, Finkelstein sheds new light on the oldest dilemmas, asking: "What to do wth the brief time that is given to us?"
