Over and over in the course of these linked essays Aciman shows himself wanting to be elsewhere . . . You don't need to have lost an Alexandria to understand what he does with place and time and memory. After all, we are all exiles in a way-from our own childhoods, our own pasts, if nothing else. It is that remembered aspect of ourselves, that shadowy other life, that Andre Aciman's new book so piercingly addresses. "Wendy Lesser, NYTBR"
The incomplete and unstable state of nostalgia is what Aciman tries to fix in this beautiful memoir. He lives in his mind. But sharing that mind is a rare privilege. "Barbara Fisher, The Boston Sunday Globe"
One feels that if Proust had not existed Mr Aciman would have invented him. "Richard Bernstein, The New York Times""
