Here Lies Memory is a challenging novel to read in all the right ways. From craft to character, Rice brings the reader into his characters’ memories in deeply effect ways and forces us to question the pain of certain memories as a bad thing. After all, as Debra’s brother, Bob, says, “Pain is part of it. Makes you remember that you are not the only one who knows pain.” Pain, beauty, memory form a symbiotic relationship and to shirk our very pasts, regardless of a the hurt, is a form of suicide. After all, “the most direct, most intimate form of suicide is the loss of memory.”
HERE LIES MEMORY explores the place of memory in living, daily, scarred and sacred lives. Two Pittsburgh families struggle to survive trauma and love. A man wills himself to go blind, not to forget, but to remember in new ways. Another man drinks beer after beer until he can no longer drink away what he must face directly. This novel explores what language and photographs do to memory, desire, and love, and what gentrification is doing to the souls of families and neighborhoods.
