"An excavation of interior geography, of the faults and rift zones of its author’s psyche, his history and memory…In this magnificent and nuanced work, [Gander] wrestles with the most complicated and contradictory of human experiences: the implacable inevitability of our evanescence, the fallacy of memory, and the failure of time to redeem us, to offer consolation of any kind."

—David Ulin, ALTA
