General Theory of Forgetting
General Fiction遗忘通论
(angola)josé Eduardo Agualoosa
Some people practice forgetting, some people are afraid of being forgotten, and some people are always afraid that others will never forget them. After the civil war began, a woman locked herself in her home for 28 years out of fear. She tried to forget all the raging monsters with the sound of gunshots, flags, and crowds on the street; the Portuguese mercenary who escaped from death said that forgetting is death and surrender; and the secret police, who were burdened with blood debts, felt happy because they were forgotten... A cobweb of memory, a turbulent history, where their destinies are intertwined, and will also start again in their dreams.
