       Dedication

       For my sisters LL and SL

       Epigraph

      Did I not once upon a time have a lovable childhood, heroic and fabulous, to be written on leaves of gold, an excess of good fortune?

      RIMBAUD, Matin

      His voice lasted just a few moments. A fleeting tremor, never to be repeated.

      PRAMOEDYA ANANTA TOER, ‘Yang Sudah Hilang’

      ‘My dreams are like other people’s waking hours…My memory, sir, is like a garbage heap.’

      BORGES, ‘Funes, His Memory’
