We live in a culture that prizes memory - how much we can store, the quality of what's preserved, how we might better document the moments of our life while fighting off the nightmare of losing all that we have experienced. But what if forgetfulness were seen not as something to fear, but rather as a blessing and a balm?

A Primer for Forgetting forges a new vision of forgetfulness by assembling fragments of art and writing from the ancient world to the modern. Combining scholarship, autobiography and social criticism, this is a unique and remarkable synthesis.
