My First Memory: Icons, thinkers and heroes on their earliest recollections
edited by Ben Holden
WHAT IS YOUR FIRST MEMORY?
Or, rather, what do you imagine to be your earliest memory?
Perhaps, alternatively, there was a moment during childhood when the world’s axis shifted? A transformative realisation, epiphany or experience that changed the course of your life: your very own ‘sense of a beginning’…
In My First Memory, bestselling anthologist Ben Holden explores these touchstones via the watershed experiences of some of the greatest figures of our age. Along the way, he lightly explores how memory and childhood merge to form identity. How, in the process, we not only create individual origin-stories but also, on a broader level, fashion human history.
