Intro:<\/strong><\/p>\n ‘Terror, disaster, memory, selfhood, happiness . . . leave it to a poet to tackle the unthinkable so wisely and so wittily.’* A literary guide to life in the pre-apocalypse, The Unreality of Memory <\/i>collects profound and prophetic essays on the Internet age\u2019s media-saturated disaster coverage and our addiction to viewing and discussing the world\u2019s ills.<\/b><\/p>\n We stare at our phones. We keep multiple tabs open. Our chats and conversations are full of the phrase \u201cDid you see?\u201d The feeling that we\u2019re living in the worst of times seems to be intensifying, alongside a desire to know precisely how bad things have gotten\u2014and each new catastrophe distracts us from the last.<\/p>\n The Unreality of Memory<\/i> collects provocative, searching essays on disaster culture, climate anxiety, and our mounting collective sense of doom. In this new collection, acclaimed poet and essayist Elisa Gabbert explores our obsessions with disasters past and future, from the sinking of the Titanic <\/i>to Chernobyl, from witch hunts to the plague. These deeply researched, prophetic meditations question how the world will end\u2014if indeed it will\u2014and why we can\u2019t stop fantasizing about it.<\/p>\n Can we avoid repeating history? Can we understand our moment from inside the moment? With The Unreality of Memory<\/i>, Gabbert offers a hauntingly perceptive analysis of our new ways of being and a means of reconciling ourselves to this unreal new world.<\/p>\n ‘A work of sheer brilliance, beauty and bravery.\u201d *\u2014Andrew Sean Greer, author of Less<\/i> <\/b>.
