On the desire not to forget, few works can match Marceline Loridan-Ivens' extended love letter to her father, But You Did Not Come Back (Faber/Grove Atlantic), an essay on loss and memory.Travelling together as they are deported, the two are later separated.Somehow he slips her a few lines, “a stained little scrap of paper”, which she mislays but never forgets.She returns home; he does not.Seven decades pass, to nourish this beautiful, deeply affecting memoir.
有關(guān)銘記，很少有作品可以媲美馬瑟琳娜·洛里丹-伊文思長(zhǎng)期以來(lái)寫(xiě)給她的父親的愛(ài)意滿(mǎn)滿(mǎn)的文字了——《而你，沒(méi)有回來(lái)》，一部有關(guān)失去和追思的隨筆。在作者和父親共同流亡后，他們彼此失散。父親留給作者的寫(xiě)在“臟兮兮的小紙片”上的幾句話(huà)，也不知怎么被她遺失，但紙片上的內(nèi)容她卻從未忘記。洛里丹-伊文思隨后回到家鄉(xiāng)，而父親卻沒(méi)有。70年過(guò)去了，籍此紀(jì)念這一段美麗的、動(dòng)人的回憶。

In a lighter vein, but evoking similar themes, Keggie Carew's Dadland: A Journey Into Uncharted Territory (Chatto & Windus) gripped from beginning to end.
Keggie Carew的《Dadland：A Journey Into Uncharted Territory》喚醒了同樣的主題，不過(guò)這本書(shū)的故事線(xiàn)更為輕松，從頭至尾都扣人心弦。
