description: Celebrated as one of the most poignant stylists of his generation Andr Aciman has written a luminous series of linked essays about time place identity and art that show him at his very finest. From beautiful and moving pieces about the memory evoked by the scent of lavender; to meditations on cities like Barcelona Rome Paris and New York; to his sheer ability to unearth life secrets from an ordinary street corner Alibis reminds the reader that Aciman is a master of the personal essay.
