Memory Tricks
Am currently re-reading Kazuo Ishiguro's When We Were Orphans. Ishiguro writes very tenderly, there are nuances in his writing that has to be savoured, not devoured. He loves memory games and for Ishiguro, memory is something that has to be dug up from the deepest recesses of our minds. My memories float up - from time to time, the ones I least want to revisit. But reading fictitious memories, is definitely a good way to take my mind off work.
Am tempted to re-read the rest of his stuff before I embark upon Never Let Me Go.Perhaps that'd be what I'll do.
