Here Is Where We Meet - John Berger

A collection of short stories, largely a conversation or remembrance of the dead.  Seven of the eight stories are framed as conversations with his dead mother in various cities around Europe.  The last is an extended memoir focused around a Polish friend.
I like the device of conversing with the dead as form of internal dialogue.  It is an interesting way to frame our relationship to the past.
