Tomas TranstrÃ¶mer,Robin Fulton
Written a few years after Transtromer suffered a stroke that left him unable to speak, ,Memories Look at Me, is Tomas TranstrÃ¶merâ€™s lyrical autobiography about growing up in Sweden. His story opens with a streak of light, a comet that becomes a brilliant metaphor for â€œmy lifeâ€ as he tries to penetrate the earliest, formative memories of his past. This childhood life unfolds itself slowly in eight glistening chapters that gradually reveal the most secret of treasures: how TranstrÃ¶mer discovered poetry.
