"The memory chalet” by Tony Jud
“The Memory Chalet is a memory unlike any you have ever read before. Each essay charts some experience or remembrance of the past through the sieve of Tony Judt's prodigious mind. His youthful love of a particular London bus route evolves into a reflection on public civility and interwar urban planning. Memories of the 1968 student riots of Paris meandered through the divergent sex politics of Europe, before concluding that his generation of him “was a revolutionary generation, but missed the revolution.”
