Overview

This is an eclectic collection of stories and vignettes about war, sense of place, time lost, youth, nostalgia, and understanding the inevitable. Memories, memoirs, reminiscences, writing from memory, fictional memory, and memory fictionalized. The writer is always at odds with the mental path of memory. The writer knows that the stories in our life are the voices that carry us. John Irving is correct, in saying, "A fiction writer's memory is an especially imperfect provider of detail." Fiction writers search for truth not fact. It is fiction based on truth, memory, experience, and reality, but at a distance through the writer's memory and imagination. Memory, even the best memory, is oblique, and opaque, even visceral. Fiction writers are the story keepers, the keepers of memories. These stories are about how it is remembered, not how it was; "The translucent alabaster of our memories." - Proust. Memory becomes sense of place. And Life is intersected with those memories, the Zeitgeists. Writers are the keepers of our memories. This collection is about a cast of characters lost in memory in search for a permanent place they can inhabit, a place where they can exist. They are brought to life over distance of time and place, and the fog of memory. They are characters searching for relevance and validation. Their voices searching for life. Mixing memory, fact, sense-of-place, imagination, truth, and then embellishing it, gives them their voice. They find their place in these fragments and remembrances, in these excursions.
