That was a theory attributed to Baron Jacobi a character in Gore Vidal’s historical novel 1876. Memories are re-creations of largely historical events which often bear the slant of plausibility. Sometimes memories are of what might have been had things been different or are the remaining specters of unrealized dreams. Many years later as I was sitting on the terrace of my friend Julia’s house near the Provençal town of Plascassier discussing her World War II days she reminded me that “memory is selective, not encyclopedic.” Some memories are nobody’s business and it should come as no surprise to learn that such ones are not memorialized in these pages. These essays are my memories, selective, detached and in no particular chronological order though some may be, and I confess to the possibility, indeed the probability, of a certain cleansing applied through the looking glass of historical perspective and the passage of time.
