The Memory of the Years.. is a book full of the daily writings, and exchanges, the author made over a four year period. In the era of post-trauma 9/11 and Edward Snowden revelations, 'terror' alerts and mass migrations, how does the creative spirit survive? Da Silva's explorations of themes both in fiction and in writing for media, expose this most sensitive era. There is autobiography and observation, and the complete creative mind let loose across the pages.
