Bob The Bookerer | Memoirs and (the Unreality of) Memory @BobTheBookerer | Uploaded November 2023 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
Hello, I'm Bob, and I recently read M. John Harrison's wonderful 'anti-memoir', 'Wish I Was Here', which got me thinking a lot about how we think of memory and memoir, and how it is never quite as simple as it seems. I hope my thoughts make some kind of sense!

Please do also recommend any other books you think might be interesting on this!

Books Mentioned:

Julian Barnes- The Sense of an Ending
M. John Harrison- Wish I Was Here
Seán Hewitt- All Down Darkness Wide
Paris Hilton- Paris
Kazuo Ishiguro- The Remains of the Day
Fleur Pierets- Julian (tr. Elizabeth Kahn)
