Stories from My Life with the Other Animals
By:James McConkey
Published on 1993 by David R. Godine Publisher
|Like All of James McConkey's writings, this book defies conventional definition. It deals with the memory - McConkey's memory - of events and lives, politics and family, people and animals, all reconstructed as interwoven stories that are convincing, poignant, and uniquely insightful. His is a visionary journey, neither totally factual nor completely fictive. Instead, McConkey takes a transparency of the past, lays it upon the present, and creates a newly focused image. In Stories from My Life with the Other Animals, he revisits his intimate history to create a totally credible journey of the soul, a journey that sweeps the reader along by the sincerity and precision of the speaker's language, clarity, and probity.| |Stories from My Life with the Other Animals forms the final volume in the author's great Court of Memory trilogy, a monumental attempt to articulate a message and meaning from his life. Proust wrote, |Those who are haunted by the confused remembrance of truths they have never known are the men who are gifted; but if they never go beyond saying that they can hear a ravishing tune, they convey nothing to others. They are without talent.| McConkey, bravely, brilliantly, successfully, grapples with his memory, bringing the truths of his life to light. His is an immense talent.|--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
