In Fond Remembrance of Me: A Memoir of Myth and Uncommon Friendship in the Arctic, Paperback/Howard Norman

Descriere & specificații

In the fall of 1977, Howard Norman went to Churchill, Manitoba, to translate Inuit folktales, and there he met Helen Tanizaki, an extraordinary linguist translating the same tales into Japanese. In Fond Remembrance of Me recaptures their intimacy, and the remarkable influence that she, and the tales themselves, would have on the future novelist. Through a series of overlapping panels of reality and memory, Norman evokes with vivid immediacy their brief but life-shifting encounter, and the earthy, robust Inuit folklore that occasioned it. About the Author Howard Norman is the author of several novels and a story collection. He lives with his family in Vermont and Washington, D.C.
