Chang, Lan Samantha. All is Forgotten, Nothing is Lost. 5CDs. 6 Hours. HighBridge Audio. 2010. ISBN: 978-1-61573-560-0 $26.95. F
The renowned Miranda Sturgis is the terrifying genius professor of poetry in Bonneville who 'bludgeons' her students with her critiques. Miranda the cold, aloof, distant, elusive. Roman is haunted by Miranda for long after their grad school affair, even as he becomes a professor and award winning poet. Read by Ramón De Ocampo who poeticises the work despite its lack thereof. All Is Forgotten is a melancholy tale of love, loss and loneliness in which not much really happens. A book about poetry and poetic lives with little actual poetry, it ultimately emphasizes that the cost of real literary success is a lonely life. Those who liked Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery may enjoy this book.
