1. When You Listen To This Song
After spending a solitary night in the Secret Annex where Anne Frank hid, Lola Lafon reflects on memory, the construction of Anne Frank’s public image, and the experience of writing under confinement. Interweaving personal losses — relatives taken in the Holocaust and a childhood friend lost to the Khmer Rouge — the book is a concise, reflective meditation on how we remember tragedy and why women write in the face of danger.
