Immemorial

Praise for Immemorial:

"Markham delivers a probing meditation on grief, memory, and memorialization... Plaintive and powerful, this is hard to forget."—Publishers Weekly

Praise for A Map of Future Ruins:

“A remarkable, unnerving, and cautionary portrait of a global immigration crisis.” —Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review

“Blends memoir, history, and reportage in a wide-ranging and unflinching account . . .  Into this heart-wrenching drama . . . Markham interweaves ruminations on Greece’s twin crises of immigration and emigration. . . . Interspersed throughout are powerful ruminations on ancient Greece as the birthplace of classical Western ideals and the myth-making process inherent to all migration stories. Readers will be thoroughly engrossed.” —Publishers Weekly, Starred Review

“In this brilliant, timely meditation, Markham explores how the stories we tell about borders and who belongs can harden our hearts or help to open them. The threads she follows weave a tapestry as moving as it is illuminating.” —Rebecca Solnit, author of Hope in the Dark and A Field Guide to Getting Lost

 “This stunning meditation on nostalgia, heritage, and compassion asks us to dismantle the stories we’ve been told—and told ourselves—in order to naturalize the forms of injustice we’ve come to understand as order.” —Leslie Jamison, author of The Empathy Exams

“A masterpiece of narrative journalism. A Map of Future Ruins is a story of two crises: the current refugee crisis affecting the Greek islands and the long-overlooked identity crisis within White America, whose preoccupation with ‘Western culture’ as an origin myth she traces both expansively and intimately.” —Aminatta Forna, author of Happiness and The Memory of Love

“Luminous and expansive ... Markham shows us what we most urgently need to see.”—Ingrid Rojas Contreras, author of The Man Who Could Move Clouds
