dbp:text
  • The crisis of historical confidence that the last century wreaked on us. We no longer believe in objectivity; we don't trust the history books to tell the story of ourselves, whether because it is too disturbing or merely too mundane. But we are desperate for that story to be told, so we look for our lives that intersect with bits of history that affect us. The great power of this memoir is that, when it works, it touches a common humanity we fear that no longer exists. (en)
