The Memory Chalet

Witty, profound, controversial... Wonderfully written... A wellspring of enlightenment you need to spend time with Peter Preston Observer

"Witty, profound, controversial... Wonderfully written... A wellspring of enlightenment you need to spend time with" -- Peter Preston Observer "Tony Judt, had a wonderful prose style, and his little book The Memory Chalet, a collection of autobiographical essays, is beautiful and moving. Although Judt, who suffered from motor neurone disease, died earlier this year, this late work is more sustaining than sad" -- John Banville Guardian, Books of the Year "Quintessentail Judt: humane, fearless, unsparingly honest" Financial Times "The book is simultaneously awe-inspiring and almost too painful to bear... His head, that of a great historian, political writer and charismatic intellectual, was a treasure house" -- Diana Athill Literary Review "A book to treasure... Witty, profound, contraversial" Observer
