Just reached Part Two of the book. Still asking myself the similar question that the Booker Prize judges asked themselves while reading this book, "Is Maria Stepanova's In Memory of Memory a work of fiction?" Part of it seems to me like a memoir chronicling the family history of a Jewish family in Russia, while also in times turning to essay forms in the style of Sontag. Genre is an outdated concept, sui generis

“Yes,” I answered. “And now there will be one more.”

The matryoshka (nesting) doll insisted on the preeminence of single daughters, each emerging from the one before and inheriting, with everything else, the gift and the opportunity to be the single teller of the tale.
