Product Information

And more, AD manages to blend the ordinary with the extraordinary experiences of being alive and blends them seamlessly. The truth is that the substrate of old memories is located not inside the cells but in the extracellular space. There’s one about a couple trying, and for a long time failing, to have a baby; another about a father reading the letters of his son, an American soldier possibly dying in South Korea; and another about an American teenager living with her grandfather in Lithuania and coming to terms with the recent deaths of both her parents.
