Kill Memory: A Novel - Softcover

In William Herrick's Kill Memory, erasing the past is just what seventy-one-year-old Elizabeth cannot do.

A woman who has had many lovers, a ruthless revolutionary, a courageous underground courier during World War II, and now a disengaged exile waiting out a solitary existence in Paris, Boishke (as Elizabeth has always been called) gives her primary attention to the rituals of living―eating, dressing, walking, realistically facing up to old age, trying to sleep―and to her memories.
