Trailer for Judy Kronenfeld’s Bamboo Dart Press book premieres

Judy Kronenfeld’s first book for Bamboo Dart Press, Oh Memory, You Unlocked Cabinet of Amazements! is out June 20th. The book is a paean to the author’s mid-twentieth century Bronx childhood as the sole offspring of warmly loving—if sometimes provincial, overprotective, or embarrassing—immigrant parents. It is also about the wonder of lifelong memory itself, of how the past continually offers itself up as a field to contemplate, a field of rediscovery and new discovery of one’s native landscape, and of the actions, rituals, and language—with all their redolence and significance—of those long gone whom one still loves. Check out the trailer below. The book is available for preorder now.
