Sinopse

In "Conrad in Quest of His Youth: An Extravagance of Temperament," Leonard Merrick presents a richly textured exploration of Joseph Conrad's early life, delving into the formative experiences that shaped his literary ethos. Written in a lyrical style that mirrors the complexities of Conrad's own prose, the book combines biographical elements with a critical analysis of Conrad's themes of existential struggle and moral ambiguity. Merrick's narrative transports readers through time, illuminating the dynamic interplay between Conrad's personal endeavors and the broader cultural milieu of the late 19th century, revealing how these influences ignited his literary innovations. Leonard Merrick, an established novelist and biographer in his own right, was profoundly inspired by the Modernist movement, which sought to redefine narrative forms and explore the human psyche. His intimate knowledge of Conrad's oeuvre, paired with his own experiences as a writer navigating the intricacies of self-identity, affords Merrick a unique perspective. This background informs his portrayal of Conrad not just as a literary figure but as a vibrant human being wrestling with his past in pursuit of artistic authenticity. This compelling blend of biography and literary critique makes Merrick's work essential reading for those seeking to understand the depths of Joseph Conrad's genius. Scholars, students of literature, and general readers alike will find inspiration in the way Merrick unravels the tapestry of Conrad's youthful aspirations and existential queries, shedding light on the intricate relationship between a writer's life and their art.

As they gather once again, old wounds resurface, secrets are revealed, and the meaning of friendship is tested and reaffirmed. Set against the backdrop of Big Sur, the story explores how we show up for each other in moments of crisis and joy, and what it truly means to be seen and loved as we are.

While dealing with the aftermath of the accident that took the lives of her mother and sister, she finds herself forced to face her own memory – which may not be quite what it seems. But Portia suffers from severe social anxiety disorder that prevented her from having any sort of life, while her little sister, Piper, was her best, and only, friend. 
     
    Now, five years later, Portia is forced to recall the events of the past while being questioned about a horrific crime she doesn’t remember. During those years, Portia had created a toxic, agoraphobic life with her father, cigarettes and alcohol her only companions, unable to cope with her loss. That is, until Ethan Torke moved in across the street and changed Portia’s perspective in ways she could not possibly comprehend. But the truth always catches up with you, and fantasies never last. 
     
    An unforgettable tale of memory, love, and strength through the darkest of times, Remember announces a brave new voice in psychological suspense.
