Other People's Countries: A Journey Into Memory
McGuinness Patrick
Let me take you down the thin cobblestoned
streets of the Belgian border town of Bouillon. Let me take you down the
alleys that lead into its past. To a town peopled with eccentrics, full
of charm, menace and wonder. To the days before television, to Marie
Bodard’s sweetshop, to the Nazi occupation and unexpected collaborators.
To a place where one neighbour murders another over the misfortune of
pigs and potatoes. To the hotel where the French poet Verlaine his lover
Rimbaud, holed up whilst on the run from family, creditors and the law.
This
exquisite meditation on place, time and memory is an illicit peek into
other people’s countries, into the spaces they have populated with their
memories, and might just make you revisit your own in a new and
surprising way.
