We're Not Here to Disappear

Auto-Fiction. Translated from the French by Béatrice Mousli. Recipient of the Prix Wepler Fondation La Poste and the Prix Pierre Simon Ethique et Réflexion, WE'RE NOT HERE TO DISAPPEAR begins with the portrait of a man suffering from Alzheimer's disease, and goes on to explore the loss of memory, language, and reason. This optimistic, desperate book—Rosenthal's seventh in as many years—confirms her talent and verbal inventiveness.
