They can break us in an instant, or help to heal deep wounds. It makes no difference if they are whole or fragmented; memories pull us around in time, whether we’re prepared for that journey or not, and bring us straight back into the sounds and tastes and feelings and dreams that make us who we are. That’s exactly the force harnessed by Shome Dasgupta’s new collection of stories, </span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Histories of Memories</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">. Page by page, these stories transport, restore, nourish, and remind. They bring us chocolates and curries, mud and family, songs and sights from all over the planet. More than anything, they show us humanity. And for that, for this author, I am truly grateful.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: georgia;"> </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: georgia;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">—Jack B.

Dasgupta layers locations, Kolkata, Edmonton, Munich, with soundtracks, Dr. Dolittle, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Magnolia, and family, mother, father, uncle, brother, with friends, lifelong and long gone, a mixtape filled with his distinctive lyricism. On this carefully curated journey, where he sometimes takes our hands, leading us along winding paths, and other times flings us far out into space or drops us deep into a swirl of firing synapses, Dasgupta is always pushing us and himself to uncover, discover, recover meaning and, ultimately, memory.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: georgia;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">—Melissa Llanes Brownlee, author of </span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Hard Skin</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> and </span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Kahi and Lua</span></span></p><div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: white; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-077089dd-7fff-bb2c-5244-e4ea7b26484b"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: georgia;">Description:</span></span></span></div><div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: white; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: white; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: georgia;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">This hybrid collection of short prose pieces and Elliott Smith-inspired illustrations carries readers along a thin thread of memory—whether their own or the author’s past, it becomes difficult to say.

hours at a time; one that I look forward to going back to after being away from
it for too long, or re-read without hesitation. I have a tendency to linger in
bookstores and libraries, browsing titles. While many people fall in love with
covers, synopsis, and maybe authors they’re use to reading, I tend to fall in
love with first sentences and paragraphs. I like to feel I’m in conversation
with the author and the people they write about. More than that, reading fuels
my writing, my craft. It’s the only thing that pacifies my anxieties about
writing. After completing a project, I like to just relax with reading a well
written book with fleshed out characters, reasonable prose, and a good plot.</span> </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span><br />

Which is to say I read much
like a collector amasses coins or comic books or rust-covered cast iron pans.
I’ll read a book, and if I more than mildly enjoy it, there’s a good chance
I’ll move on to another work by the same writer. Often, I’ll even follow an
author’s oeuvre in chronological order, watching her/his skills grow then fade
over time. I’ll then read a biography, followed by letters and unpublished
diaries (I also do this with directors/movies). Last summer I did this with
Flannery O’Connor. This summer I’m afraid I’ll do the same with Carson
McCullers. Sometimes I convince myself that this is a productive, healthy way
to read, and maybe it is. Taking in all that remains of a writer, in a way,
allows you to live the life of that writer. But often it feels like a
compulsion.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue;">I know where this drive comes from, or at least I think I do. My
grandmother read not only constantly but with a similar consistency. During
family visits I’d stare up at her tall bookshelves and see all of Agatha
Christie, every Dick Francis, each title by James Clavell (she enjoyed breezy,
British-y beach reads obviously)—all neatly arranged, like in a real library, throughout numerous rooms
of her house. One summer, after telling her how much I enjoyed reading <i>Pudd’nhead Wilson</i>, she bought me the
complete works of Mark Twain, in these matching hardcover volumes that shined
so beautiful on my childhood bookshelves. I read all of Twain that summer, from
<i>The Innocents Abroad</i> to all the
lesser <i>Tom Sawyers</i>. But when the
first volume of Twain’s <i>Autobiography</i>
was published in 2010 I could not bring myself to complete my collection.
Obsessions fade away, often with an intensity matching the way they once burned
so bright. Perhaps I’ll return to Twain someday—I might even plow through some
Dick Francis!—and that old compulsion could be renewed. But I’m hoping there’s
a chance that I can reread <i>Pudd’nhead
Wilson</i> and leave it at that. </span><br />

They're reading the odd line in the email repeatedly. They're reading the lines overheard on the street or through the wall. They're reading lyrics as they're sung. They're reading books and stories, of course, because writers write books and stories as a way to process all you've read. And if you're not reading, you're not writing. Like a sink unhooked from pipes, turn the dials all day-- nothing will happen if you don't read.</span></span><br />

I finger their spines. I spread them open and inhale. I move them around with my hands, stack them, sort them. My eyes take them in and my central nervous system responds with just the right combinations of words. Books have always been a welcoming place to me, so I started living with them right away, shacking up with them in my bedroom, reading late into the night. We used to have so much more time together, books and me. Every stolen moment I get now involves reading.

<span style="color: blue;"><br /><br />I read as a kid and have great memories of my mom reading to me. I didn't
read very much in high school, but in college I started reading pretty heavily.
This is also when I started writing fiction. I think it's obvious how important
reading is in order to be a good writer. I would rather read than watch TV--in
fact, other than sports on occasion, I don't watch much TV at all. I used to
stay up late nights watching cable reruns of <i>What's Happening </i>or<i> Dobie
Gillis</i>, but I don't do that much anymore. But it means I'm out of the loop
when everyone starts talking about <i>Breaking Bad </i>or <i>Mad Men </i>or
whatever. I've never watched those shows. There's so much out there I still need
to read. Just knowing that is more exciting to me.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;"><br /><br />One of the greatest gifts my family gave me was a love for reading. My mom
and I would lie around, side by side, reading our respective books from the time
I was a little girl. Even though she was getting her PhD in English and reading
18th century literature and I was reading Judy Blume, she always told me that <i>what</i> I read wasn’t important so long as I had a love for reading. I did—and
still do. Reading is also, I believe, one of the only ways to get better at
writing. Writing classes can be great when the teacher and students are just
right but in my experience, that is rarely the case. If you’re reading something
you love, it’s always just right.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">My biggest problem with reading is that I have to be moderately obsessed
with a book to want to finish; if I’m not looking forward to picking it up again
with something of a passion, I’ll sometimes just abandon it part of the way
through. But I look at reading the same way I do exercise or eating well: it’s
important to find what you love about it so it can remain a pleasure and not be
a chore.</span></div>
