Chronicles of the Unsung is a memoir crossed with a travel, history book. The four episodes he takes from his life are all unflattering almost seedy former selves, that he attempts to deal with by painting a ladscape of memory undercut by research.
The unsung of the book are those whose lives he touches but who for thisa book will never be known, never amount to official history.
Edmond shows us how to deal with the unattractive parts of our lives and how these failures are more important than successes in revealing the journey of self.
