In the dark room: a journey in memory by Brian Dillon. 1st Thus Penguin UK 2006. Paperback. Cover is faded with some marks. Pages are lightly tanned. Binding is tight. In good condition. Boldly combining the highly personal with the brilliantly scholarly, In the Dark Room explores the question of how memory works - emotionally and culturally. It is narrated through the prism of the author's experience of losing both his parents - his mother when he was sixteen, his father when he was on the cusp of adulthood - and of trying, after a breakdown some years later, to piece things together. Drawing on the lessons of centuries of literature, philosophy and visual art, Dillon interprets the relics of his parents and of his childhood in a singularly original and arresting piece of writing.
