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.
