Homo Irrealis

In Homo Irrealis, bestselling author André Aciman returns to essay writing, delving into themes of time, creativity, and the concept of what might have been. Through explorations of subway poetry, the fleeting nature of moments, and the lives and works of notable figures like Freud and Proust, Aciman reflects on the imagination's role in shaping memories. This collection offers a rich meditation on the complexities of human experience and the interplay between reality and the potential of what could still happen.
