Product Information
"Terror, disaster, memory, selfhood, happiness . . . leave it to a poet to tackle the unthinkable so wisely and so wittily."* A literary guide to life in the pre-apocalypse, The Unreality of Memory collects profound and prophetic essays on the Internet age's media-saturated disaster coverage and our addiction to viewing and discussing the world's ills. We stare at our phones. We keep multiple tabs open. Our chats and conversations are full of the phrase "Did you see?" The feeling that we're living in the worst of times seems to be intensifying, alongside a desire to know precisely how bad things have gotten--and each new catastrophe distracts us from the last. The Unreality of Memory collects provocative, searching essays on disaster culture, climate anxiety, and our mounting collective sense of doom. In this new collection, acclaimed poet and essayist Elisa Gabbert explores our obsessions with disasters past and future, from the sinking of the Titanic to Chernobyl, from witch hunts to the plague. These deeply researched, prophetic meditations question how the world will end--if indeed it will--and why we can't stop fantasizing about it. Can we avoid repeating history? Can we understand our moment from inside the moment? With The Unreality of Memory , Gabbert offers a hauntingly perceptive analysis of our new ways of being and a means of reconciling ourselves to this unreal new world. "A work of sheer brilliance, beauty and bravery." *--Andrew Sean Greer, author of Less

Reviews
" The Unreality of Memory fearlessly entertains taboo thoughts, but with the unaffected honesty of intimacy rather than the attention-seeking of a gadfly. Gabbert has the magical ability to make an essay feel like a best-ever conversation with a best friend, the kind of conversation that changes the way you think about things forever. Wildly fun and casually brilliant, this book will make you feel happier while you're reading it and smarter once you finish." --Sandra Newman, author of The Only Good Thing Anyone Has Ever Done "Terror, disaster, memory, selfhood, happiness . . . leave it to a poet to tackle the unthinkable so wisely and so wittily. A work of sheer brilliance, beauty and bravery. " -- Andrew Sean Greer, author of Less " Examining disasters both man made and natural, Gabbert's essays perform a beautiful autopsy of our fears, showing us what it means to exist in a time of eternal apocalypse. The Unreality of Memory is breathtaking in its scope and thought and captivating prose . This is a necessary and vital handbook for anyone experiencing the existential and not-so existential dread of everyday modern life." --Lyz Lenz, author of God Land, "Deeply contemplative but accessible . . . Whatever the chosen topic, Gabbert's essays manage to be by turns poetic, philosophical, and exhaustively researched. This is a superb collection. " -- Publisher's Weekly "These deeply researched, prophetic meditations question how the world will end --if indeed it will--and why we can't stop fantasizing about it." -- The Rumpus "Amid impending disasters too vast even to be perceived, what can we do--cognitively, morally, and practically? Gabbert, a tenacious researcher and a ruthless self-examiner, probes this ultimate abstraction in her essays, goes past wordless dread and comes up with enough reasoned consideration to lead us through . Do you feel--and how can you not--as if your emotional endurance is exhausted by horrors already well underway? Then you should read this book. " --Sarah Manguso, author of The Guardians " The Unreality of Memory fearlessly entertains taboo thoughts, but with the unaffected honesty of intimacy rather than the attention-seeking of a gadfly.

There can be no better companion in these bewildering times than the crystalline mind of Elisa Gabbert ; she delivers the bad news with the ardor of an aria and the rigor of a clinical trial." -- J. Robert Lennon, author of Broken River "Amid impending disasters too vast even to be perceived, what can we do--cognitively, morally, and practically?

Elegantly structured and weirdly comforting, The Unreality of Memory brilliantly articulates our anxieties, fears, and wishes for destruction. " - Leigh Stein, author of Self Care "I want to say Elisa Gabbert is a writer's writer, because of what I hope that implies about her command of the language, her subtle experimentation, her thought-provoking sentences about a surprising range of subjects. But then will only writers read this? So instead I'll say Elisa Gabbert is a writer everyone needs to read; her orderly, elegant essays are the perfect counterbalance to our current chaos culture.
