Homo Irrealis

Andre Aciman reflects on the imagination's power to shape our memories under time's seemingly intractable hold. From meditations on subway poetry to considerations of the lives and work of Sigmund Freud, Fernando Pessoa and others, to portraits of cities like Alexandria and St. Petersburg - Homo Irrealis is about what might have been but never was. From the New York Times-bestselling author of "Find Me" and "Call Me by Your Name".
