Memoirs of Hadrian: the only historical fiction I’ve ever loved. Published by a French woman in the 50s after a decades long obsession with the project.
The last samurai: by Helen Dewitt unrelated to the Tom Cruise movie of the same name. A totally original story about the life of the mind.

Don't just reel in the good ol' days... let them consume you like a whale. No new generation can take lived experience turned nostalgia away from those who were really there. Stay up extra extra extra late, tossing and turning in bed, rattling your mind about a time you'll never get back (and probably wasn't even as good as the way you put it on a pedestal today). Will we get memories when we die?
