Reviews
" In Rooms of Memory is a testament to Hilary Masters''s expertise and inspiration as an essayist, examining memory, imagination, and autobiography with subtlety and skillful continuity."-Mardi Stewart, Pleiades, "Because of his age, broad experience, travels, open-hearted curiosity, and knowledge, Hilary Masters's book, In Rooms of Memory, has the kind of reflective depth that few such collections possess. It is gorgeously written and organized, a book of connections-between self and other, past and present, art and life."-Floyd Skloot, author of In the Shadow of Memory, "There are very few practitioners of the personal essay today who can commandeer such wide perspectives, such insight and balance as Hilary Masters. He starts off from a small, everyday subject or object and works his way into a much larger purview.n Rooms of Memoryis one of the strongest personal essay collections in recent years---it is supremely companionable, 'user friendly,' and engrossing and amusing throughout. Every year sees a brace of excellent new memoirs, but there are only about a dozen personal essay collections published, mostly by younger writers, and none that I can think of that has the burnished, distilled wisdom of this book."

Synopsis
This mature, exquisite collection of personal essays by Hilary Masters offers a rare pleasure. Here are meditations and reflections distilled in fine prose from a long and varied life--musings that, in the distinguished tradition of essays carried on since the days of Montaigne, articulate the piquant insights of the writer's experience. In this collection, one of the most illustrious contemporary essayists transfigures incidents and observations into something far more--a finely crafted window into the workings of experience and memory. Masters makes readers privy to a youthful love affair; an adolescent's discovery in Defoe's Robinson Crusoe of the key to an immigrant grandfather's plight; and the significance of growing trees, making gravy, and playing cards. He draws intimate portraits of such characters as his famous father, Edgar Lee Masters; his literary friends Wright Morris and William Humphrey; and the strangers who both complicated and enriched his life. In glimpses of moments from naive youth through heady young adulthood to aging maturity, these essays tell the story of a life deeply, broadly, and thoroughly lived., This mature, exquisite collection of personal essays by Hilary Masters offers a rare pleasure. Here are meditations and reflections distilled in fine prose from a long and varied life - musings that, in the distinguished tradition of essays carried on since the days of Montaigne, articulate the piquant insights of the writer's experience.
