The collection, published by The University of North Carolina Press, who were gracious enough to provide me with this review copy through Netgalley, consists of twenty essays of varying length about diverse topics. All these essays are birthed by the experiences of the writer, from his childhood, his multiple professions, and his interactions with people at various places that he visited and stayed in his life. The author tries to find takeaways from each of them that he feels are deserving of being shared with his readers. When we look into the past, we remember only snippets of some memories, most of them so vague that it becomes an impossibility to reconstruct them. But there may be some vivid frames that we never forget and that continue to grow inside us, making our lives richer.
