Description
Juze Eduardu Agualuza’s “The General Theory of Forgetting” is a book about memory and forgetfulness, about living alone with oneself and about a world that doesn’t let a person remain alone — about attempts to forget while simultaneously striving to remember everything.
In her youth, Ludo experienced a psychological trauma. Over the years she came to terms with it, but fear of open spaces stayed with her forever. Even to go to the store, she takes along a huge black umbrella, shielding herself from the outside world. After her sister married and moved to Angola, Ludo leaves her native Portugal too, to settle in Africa. She doesn’t suspect what awaits her.
When a revolution begins in Angola, chaos spreads across the capital, Luanda. Left alone, Ludo makes a single step that can protect her from the horror of open spaces: she seals up the door to her home.
