Everything I don’t remember by Jonas Hassen Khemiri Everything I Don’t Remember (Allt jag inte minns) is a gripping tale about love and memory. But it is also a story about a writer who, by filling out the contours of Samuel’s story, is actually trying to grasp a truth about himself. In the end, what remains of all our fleeting memories? And what is hidden behind everything we don’t remember? By employing the detective novel’s narrative suspense and shifting perspectives, Jonas Hassen Khemiri has created a story that grips us by the throat and won’t let us go while simultaneously challenging us to see ourselves and the world in new ways. Told with Khemiri’s characteristic stylistic ingenuity, Everything I Don’t Remember is an emotional roller coaster ride of a book that promises to become a modern classic.
