"People take what scraps of personal memory they want to believe in and erect a house of experiential straw"

From 'The Centauri Device' by @mjohnharrison

Reading this book has really got me looking forward to what M John Harrison describes as his 'anti-memoir', Wish I Was Here.

Will he, should we, like Pater, burn our houses to the ground?

Can we prevent our past shaping our present, and would we want to?
