The memory chalet / Tony Judt. by Judt, Tony. Penguin, c2010. Call #: 824.92 J93m Subjects Civilization, Modern -- 20th century.   Twentieth century.   Authors, English -- 21st century -- Biography. ISBN:  9781594202896 1594202893 Description:  226 p. ; 22 cm. Summary:  "'The Memory Chalet' is a memoir unlike any you have ever read before. Each essay charts some experience or remembrance of the past through the sieve of Tony Judt's prodigious mind. His youthful love of a particular London bus route evolves into a reflection on public civility and interwar urban planning. Memories of the 1968 student riots of Paris meander through the divergent sex politics of Europe, before concluding that his generation 'was a revolutionary generation, but missed the revolution.' A series of road trips across America lead not just to an appreciation of American history, but to an eventual acquisition of citizenship. Foods and trains and long-lost smells all compete for Judt's attention; but for us, he has forged his reflections into an elegant arc of analysis. All as simply and beautifully arranged as a Swiss chalet-a reassuring refuge deep in the mountains of memory."--Dust jacket flap. Genre:  Essays.
