Each Essay Charts Some Experience Or Remembrance Of The Past Through The Sieve Of Tony Judt's Prodigious Mind. His Youthful Love Of A Particular London Bus Route Evolves Into A Reflection On Public Civility And Interwar Urban Planning. Memories Of The 1968 Student Riots Of Paris Meander Through The Divergent Sex Politics Of Europe, Before Concluding That His Generation 'was A Revolutionary Generation, But Missed The Revolution.' A Series Of Road Trips Across America Lead Not Just To An Appreciation Of American History, But To An Eventual Acquisition Of Citizenship. Foods And Trains And Long-lost Smells All Compete For Judt's Attention; But For Us, He Has Forged His Reflections Into An Elegant Arc Of Analysis. All As Simply And Beautifully Arranged As A Swiss Chalet-a Reassuring Refuge Deep In The Mountains Of Memory.--dust Jacket Flap.
