Memory is Home

Reliving the past that is the most fantastic adventure of all. The event, relived, grows more and more enigmatic, and richer and richer in meaning. Turning to the past, I reach the future, I recall people I never knew.

From a review by David Marcus of the new book, A Guest in My Own Country: A Hungarian Life by George Konrad.

At the end of the memoir, Konrád asks, “Where is home?” we know the answer. Memory is home.
