The nature of memory — and the difficulty of building memoir on its shifting sand — has fascinated me for many years. I have also struggled as a judge to evaluate the human capacity to store and recount memories with any kind of fidelity. But the complexity of memory and its very human and emotional content, which can be so frustrating in court, can be an enriching soil in which memoir may thrive. At least it may be given care and integrity in the harvest. I recently gave a presentation for The Transition Network exploring this challenge which is now available on YouTube here.
