The Knot Wound Round Your Finger

Description

Fiction and non-fiction on memory, history, and inheritance

The Knot Wound Round Your Finger is an anthology on the theme of memory. Memories lost, memories made. What to discard and what to keep? How do we form them and how do they form us? From speculative and historical fiction to memoir and creative non-fiction, each piece explores these fragments of the past and how they trouble us or offer comfort.

“In an anthology as diverse as this, it is customary to say that there is something in it for everyone. While this is no doubt true, the real value of the book is, surely, to function as a reminder that it is almost impossible to imagine a corner of the human experience … where the past and our links to it, conscious or unconscious, are not part of our lives.” —Theo Dombrowski, The BC Review
