I Could Tell You Stories Sojourns in the Land of Memory

"Many a memoirist has swaggered into gushy confessional, sharp-toothed revenge or yet another melodramatic rendering of an unexamined life. These, though, are not the memoirs that Hampl considers here. Instead, she turns her attention to those she sees as iconic--Anne Frank's diary, Edith Stein's LIFE IN A JEWISH FAMILY," Czeslaw Milosz's autobiography and St. Augustine's CONFESSIONS--and reflects on what they have meant to her and what, by extension, they might mean to us."Hampl, Patricia is the author of 'I Could Tell You Stories Sojourns in the Land of Memory' with ISBN 9780393320312 and ISBN 0393320316.
