| Abstract: | When Maria Stepanova's aunt died, she left behind an apartment full of ephemera - postcards and photographs and diaries, from almost a century of life in Russia. Stepanova's prize-winning memoir, "In Memory of Memory," newly translated into English, is about her Russian Jewish family, but also about how we construct and understand our own and our families' lives, and how we construct and understand history. In this excerpt, Stepanova talks about her aunt's diaries - what they left out, and what they didn't. My aunt Galya's diaries were completely peculiar, and their strangely woven texture, which reminded me above all of chain-link fencing, intrigued me more and more as I read them.
