- Summary:
- Mirrors contains brief texts that trace the environment, that follow the author through the world, reflecting who he once was, who he became. A sort of autobiography in fragments, the disconnected pieces tell of persecution, suffocation, and freedom, in settings that range across his personal map: Paris under the Occupation, Auschwitz, the Sinai Desert, Benares, Kabul, New York, but also anonymous hotel rooms, his childhood home, lost roads in the country. In understated tones and a poetic instinct for details, this series of epiphanies offers a portrait of a man coming to terms with the times in which we live.
