A review by jenlowe
Memory for Forgetfulness: August, Beirut, 1982 by Mahmoud Darwish
5.0
Beautiful, wandering, difficult, uneven, a touch misogynistic. And yet, and still: the best book I've read in years.
If you make it to the aroma of coffee on page 6, you'll likely be hooked.
The book is best paired with a viewing of Waltz With Bashir.
I discovered this via a quote in an artwork at the SF MOMA. The quote and more info on the art: http://www.shadowidentitysystem.com/2012/11/06/memory-for-forgetfulnessmahmoud-darwish/
