rskennedy1066 's review for:
Imagine Wanting Only This
by Kristen Radtke
Profoundly moving, both existential and hopeful. Radtke confronts one of our most human tendencies: to deny our own mortality, to cling to what we have as though it matters in the end. She sees ruins that are embraced and beloved in Italy and Iceland, and ruins that are forgotten or feared in the United States. She calls attention to our fetishistic love of the ancient past in contrast to our fear of the recent past: medieval ruins are picturesque while modern ruins are perverse.
Highly recommended.
Revisited in the wake of my grandfather's death.
