Books by David King
The Commissar Vanishes
by David King
This book is interesting because it’s not something which happens in our mind. This is about what others do to our externalised memory. Photographs, books and letters are all part of that. But, as we begin to rely on them because we realise that our own recollection isn’t that perfect, we may become quite dependent on these objects as pieces of memory.
