A collection of thoughts on time, creative thinking, and great lives and works. Andre Aciman is one of the best essayists of the last hundred years. The mood of the negative knows no bounds in what is and what is not, what happened and what will not happen. The essays on artists, writers, and great personalities gathered in this volume have nothing to do with who I am or who they were, and my reading of them may be entirely mistaken. But I misinterpret them to better read myself. From reflections on the poetry of the subway and the temporal resonances of an empty Italian road, to examinations of the lives and works of Sigmund Freud, Constantine Cavafy, W. G. Sebald, John Sloan, Eric Rohmer, Marcel Proust, and Fernando Pessoa, as well as portraits of cities like Alexandria and St. Petersburg, Homo Irrealis is a profound reflection on the power of imagination to shape our memories under the seemingly inexhaustible control of time.
