About This Book

An elegiac sequence of episodic scenes follows a middle-aged voyager who revisits border towns and winter landscapes to recover memories of his youth. Travel passages alternate with intimate recollections of schooldays, dances, brief loves, and everyday domestic details, all rendered in lyrical, sensory prose. The work moves fluidly between present journeys and past impressions, examining the persistence of longing, the reshaping of recollection over time, and how particular places and small sensations repeatedly unlock forgotten moments.
