Remember Me

by Linda Burgess

A book of short stories from popular novelist Linda Burgess: 'As a writer I'm interested in turning points, and short stories lend themselves to the exploration of these. 'I'm fascinated with memory: the snapshots we have tucked away in our minds. While a novel is a film, often a short story, in its economy, is a photo. A photo doesn't exist in isolation, doesn't just evoke the captured moment, it causes other memories to stir. Everyone looking at it will take away a different message. So I thought it appropriate to link these stories, in which the nature of memory is often referred to, with those other caches of memory, those other short stories - photographs.'.
