White Gloves: How We Create Ourselves Through Memory

“A unique blend of personal narrative and scientific discovery, White Gloves reveals the centrality of autobiographical memory to consciousness and cognition.” —Peter Salovey, Yale University, author of The Remembered Self

Written with “exceptional clarity and insight” (New York Times), and ranging widely over case studies, scientific knowledge about memory, and personal experience, as well as recent events and trial involving conflicting or “repressed” memories, Kotre's book gives us a “fascinating and often moving account of the part which both real and false memories play in our lives” (Anthony Storr).
