Official synopsis Publisher
When memory fails, what can take its place? Speculation, Brigitte Lewis suggests, other ways of knowing: myth, history, science. Imagination. The quicksilver of language itself. The result is a memoir about what it means to re-member a life. Hybrid in form and lyrical in style, Speculative Histories is driven by an authentic voice and singular intelligence. This is a mind on the page, a story unfolding. To read it is to fall in love with what writing can do.
