''The beauty of memory rests in its talent for rendering detail,'' she writes, ''for paying homage to the senses, its capacity to love the particles of life, the richness and idiosyncrasy of our existence.'' This description may be applied no less to the quality of Hampl's prose, which is itself so rich and idiosyncratic, and which makes this book so memorable. ]]> 2018-10-18 11:08:35 UTC https://padlet.com/e202469/3u8yw054y57/wish/294270533 e202469 https://padlet.com/e202469/3u8yw054y57/wish/294270817 2018-10-18 11:09:57 UTC https://padlet.com/e202469/3u8yw054y57/wish/294270817 e202469 https://padlet.com/e202469/3u8yw054y57/wish/294271194 2018-10-18 11:11:33 UTC https://padlet.com/e202469/3u8yw054y57/wish/294271194
