Synopsis

"Why am I writing these stories? They are a scattered account, and I sometimes find myself smiling at what I have written. The stories occasionally seem more like fiction than memoir, more what I wanted things to be than what they actually were. In his Confessions, Augustine says wise things about memory. Wittgenstein called Augustine’s Confessions “the most serious book ever written.” He was mostly thinking of what Augustine had to say about language and memory. We know how curious, how faulty, how elusive, memory can be. At least I find it so, and I am aware of that in writing these memories. I do know that what I write is mine. And it is given as a testimony."
– M. Darrol Bryant in Crossing Borders.
