Mary: Your choices this week are wonderful lures. The story kiosk concept is mind boggling and marvelous. It gives us “oldies “ hope for our children’s future. The review of Sense of an Ending is marvelous and so honest. It made me think back upon what I have said or claimed about my past. Ah, the art of omission- for starters.
Sense of an Ending is one of my gospels. I read it at least twice a year. I've tried to mimic its structure in a few unfinished novels (and short stories) and have failed each time.
Mary, I thought about this “Inner Life” post from an “outer life” perspective. Maybe it’s human nature to believe one’s version of history is the “truth.” But this mistake can, and too often does, inflame everyday situations. If we all understood and accepted the true nature of “memory,” maybe political discussions and Thanksgiving dinners would be more civilized. Big argument for literature, reading and more great posts like this on Inner Life!

Amazing read. Thank you.
"Memory equals events plus time." Nrgghh I love this.
