Edited by Patricia Fara and Karalyn Patterson, Memory will sharpen the mind
of the reader. It’s a series of essays, based on lectures given at Darwin
College, Cambridge, in 1996 on why, how and what we remember. Try A. S. Byatt on
memory and the making of fiction: a fabulous unpicking of threads constructed in
the collision of senses and events which lie behind the written word. And, yes,
lots of interesting science, too. Published by Cambridge University Press,
£17.95, ISBN 05215710X.
