You cannot call to mind the name of a man you have
known for 30 years. You walk into a room and forget what
you came for. What is the name of that famous film
you've watched so many times? These are common
experiences, and as we grow older we tend to worry about
these lapses. Is our memory failing? Is it dementia?
Douwe Draaisma, a renowned memory specialist, here
focuses on memory in later life. Writing with eloquence
and humour, he explains neurological phenomena without
becoming lost in specialist terminology. His book is
reminiscent of Oliver Sacks' work, and not
coincidentally this volume includes a long interview
with Sacks, who speaks of his own memory changes as he
entered his sixties. Draaisma moves smoothly from
anecdote to research and back, weaving stories and
science into a compelling description of the terrain of
memory. He brings to light the "reminiscence effect",
just one of the unexpected pleasures of an ageing
memory. The author writes reassuringly about
forgetfulness and satisfyingly dismantles the stubborn
myth that mental gymnastics can improve memory. He
presents a convincing case in favour of the ageing mind
and urges us to value the nostalgia that survives as
recollection, appreciate the intangible nature of past
events, and take pleasure in the consolation of
razor-sharp reminiscing.
