False Papers
Author: Andre Aciman
In these fourteen essays Andre Aciman, one of the most poignant stylists of his generation, dissects the experience of loss, moving from his forced departure from Alexandria as a teenager, though his brief stay in Europe and finally to the home he's made (and half invented) on Manhattan's Upper West Side.

One of the most beautiful pieces of writing I've had in my hands in ages. The subtitle is "Essays on exile and memory," but it's also about how writing and story-telling distort our perceptions of life. Every line of this is replete with literary and music allusion and just rings Aciman's meticulous craftsmanship.
