False Papers: Essays on Exile and Memory by André Aciman

3.0

I read this collection of essays for my Aciman-August challenge, wherein I wanted to read multiple books by this author, after falling head over heels for Call me By Your Name. In constrats to that book this is a collection of around fourteen essays, their themes ranging from exile, to home, to time, and all in all I did enjoy this book. There were times when it got a little too high brow for me and I got a little lost, but there were also times when an essay really touched me, in a way I don't usually associate with non-fiction. Aciman's writing style came through beautifully, and I can see myself returning to some of my favourites.
