I find the topic of history and memory quite difficult to really pin down and say anything absolute about.
(That could be because history offers one perspective, memory another and each may say a different thing to the other --> postmodernist "there are no absolute truths" --> ultimate frustration.)
We've been asked to write about the challenges of representing history and memory within texts. I've come to a few basic conclusions, like ensuring that they complement each other rather than having one overwhelming element within the text.
But that's where I hit a wall.
If anyone can help me figure out the challenges of representing history and memory, particularly within Fiftieth Gate, I would really appreciate it!
