Carefully reassembled with calm, steady hands, these shards tell the story of how a seemingly ordinary Jewish family somehow managed to survive the myriad persecutions and repressions of the last century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn dialogue with writers like Roland Barthes, W. G. Sebald, Susan Sontag, and Osip Mandelstam, \u003ci\u003eIn Memory of Memory\u003c\/i\u003e is imbued with rare intellectual curiosity and a wonderfully soft-spoken, poetic voice. Dipping into various forms—essay, fiction, memoir, travelogue, and historical documents—Stepanova assembles a vast panorama of ideas and personalities and offers an entirely new and bold exploration of cultural and personal memory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46531602415852,"sku":"9781913097530","price":36.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/3643793482869.jpg?v=1749280157","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/in-memory-of-memory-by-maria-stepanova-9781913097530","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
