Lethe, in Greek mythology, is the underworld river of oblivion.
The shades of the dead drink of its waters to forget their mortal lives.

"-To say that Izidora l LETHE's extended essay - a hybrid between cultural criticism, memoir, and myth - takes us to the river of oblivion, however, would be to miss the central mode of inquiry in this ranging and brilliantly alert work: a refusal to arrive anywhere, or even to desire that. Rather this book concerns itself with a process of ongoing arriving, the perpetual position of the emigré. Pausing is itself action in the mode Lethe proposes in this work. The scale of her considerations encompasses the intimate and the global, and each page invites us to reckon with our own shifting positions."
