Tobacco Road in the Bookshop

Tobacco Road by Erskine Caldwell

"But what is memory if not the language of feeling, a dictionary of faces and days and smells which repeat themselves like the verbs and adjectives in a speech, sneaking in behind the thing itself,into the pure present, making us sad or teaching us vicariously..." - Julio Cortázar
