Memory and Straw by Angus Peter Campbell
When his enquiry turns personal hes forced to ask whether his ownlife is an artificial mask. It fuses the glass and steel of our increasingly controlledalgorithmic world with the memory and straw of our forebears worldcontrolled by traditions and taboos, the seasons and the elements.
This novel is about living, nothing lessA glorious adventure in voices, it sifts through memory and randomness, what we retain and do not, the vividness of the fragments that inexplicably linger in technicolour, and our own, never-outgrown, absurdity. It’s about land and water and fairies; the marvellous and the unavoidable, and what we finally, with due modesty, grasp as essential. An irrepressible, quite remarkable, joy. – JANICE GALLOWAY
