Journey Around My Flat

<p><em>Journey Around My Flat</em> is the fourth in a series of five memoirs. Previous volumes are <em>The Arithmetic of Memory</em> (on growing up in Hampstead Garden Suburb) <em>Silent Conversations</em> (where the author draws on the books in his library to generate thoughts about reading and re-reading) and <em>A Vanished Hand</em> (a short illustrated account of his long-lost autograph album from the 1950s). The final volume is a work-in-progress: <em>In the Picture: Office Hours at the Studio of Paula Rego</em> an account of the author's ongoing close association with the painter since the two first met in 1996.</p><p> <em>Journey Around My Flat</em> continues his practice - in the footsteps of Georges Perec and other French writers - of using objects to trigger memories. Rudolf takes the reader on a guided tour of each room in the North London flat where he has lived for forty years and includes a generous supply of photos. The book - running parallel to <em>Silent Conversations</em> - is a chronological successor to <em>The Arithmetic of Memory</em> which ended with the author about to leave for university. </p><p><br></p>
