De la melancolía a la pérdida de la identidad

"Memories are infinitely richer than their origins, I discovered; to travel back can only estrange one even from memory itself. And because memory is often all that a life or a self is built on, returning home can take away exactly that."

David Vann en el relato Ketchikan de Legend of a Suicide (cuya memorable pieza central, la novela Sukkwan Island, aparece en España estos días gracias a Alfabia).
