Memories of the Future

Memories of the Future tells the story of a young Midwestern woman’s first year in New York City in the late 1970s and her obsession with her mysterious neighbor, Lucy Brite.

As she listens to Lucy through the thin walls of her dilapidated building, S.H., aka “Minnesota,” transcribes her neighbor’s bizarre and increasingly ominous monologues in a notebook, along with sundry other adventures, until one frightening night when Lucy bursts into her apartment on a rescue mission.

Forty years later, S.H., now a veteran author, discovers her old notebook, as well as early drafts of a never-completed novel. S.H. measures what she remembers against what she wrote that year and has since forgotten to create a dialogue between selves across decades.

Amintirile viitorului spune povestea primului an al unei tinere din Midwest din New York la sfarsitul anilor 1970 si obsesia ei pentru misterioasa ei vecina, Lucy Brite. Pe masura ce o asculta pe Lucy prin peretii subtiri ai cladirii sale darapanate, SH, aka „Minnesota” transcrie monogramele bizare si din ce in ce mai rau augur ale vecinului ei intr-un caiet, impreuna cu alte aventuri, pana intr-o noapte inspaimantatoare cand Lucy intra in apartamentul ei intr-o misiune de salvare. Patruzeci de ani mai tarziu, SH, acum autor veteran, o descopera caiet vechi, precum si schite timpurii ale unui roman niciodata finalizat.
