What this is -- Notebook I: myth -- Notebook II: self -- Notebook III: nation -- Notebook IV: creator.
"Forges a new vision of forgetfulness by assembling fragments of art and writing from the ancient world to the modern, weighing the potential boons forgetfulness might offer the present moment as a creative and political force. It also turns inward, using the author’s own life and memory as a canvas upon which to extol the virtues of a concept too long taken as an evil." -- amazon.com
