Z internationally bestselling, Man Booker Prize-longlisted Siri Hustvedt comes a provocative, exuberant noviel o čase, desire, memory a imaginace, ktoré tells story mladej polovičky žena prvý rok v New Yorku v novembri 1970 hier mysterious neighbour, Lucy Brite. Ako she listens to Lucy cez thin walls of her dilapidated building, SH . transcribes hier neighbour's bizarre a increasingly ominujúce monology v notebooku, popri sundry iných dobrodružstiev, until jeden noc keď Lucy bursts do svojho bytu na záchranu SH . from a frightening situation. Forty years later, SH ., now a veteran author, discovers hier starý notebook pozdĺž s drafts of never-completed novel at jej mother's house. Ingeniously juxtaposing the rôzne texty, SH . measures what she remembers against what she wrote that year, creating a dialogu between selves across decades and reframing the past in the present. Urgently paced, intellectually rigorous, poignant a often wildly funny, MEMORIES OF THE FUTURE brings spolu s témami, ktoré majú Hustvedt medzi mostom oslavovaných novelistov working today: fallibility of memory; rodové mutability; the violence of patriarchu; the vagaries of perception; the ambiguous relation between sensation and thought, sanity and madness; and our dependence on primal drives such as sex, love, hunger, and rage.
