The Memory Sessions
The Memory Sessions | Suzanne Farrell Smith
4 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
Suzanne Farrrell Smith's father was killed by a drunk driver when she was six, and a devastating fire nearly destroyed her house when she was eight. She remembers those two--and only those two--events from her first nearly twelve years of life. Her entire childhood was, seemingly, erased. In The Memory Sessions, Smith attempts to excavate lost childhood memories. Rather than recount a childhood, this memoir creates one from research, archives, imagination, and the memories of others.

A beautiful, beautiful book. Like Suzanne says, a memoir written without memory but she takes up the challenge gracefully and the end result is a moving homage to her family, and to her childhood.

Really glad I was able to convince my kids that the air conditioned library is a better place to hang out than the skate park on this disgustingly hot day. 🥵

The_Real_Nani Update: apparently, I wasn‘t convincing enough. *sigh* At least the skate park has shade. 5y
