DON FORGET ME - PHILOMENE GRANDIN KARTONIERT (TB)

'A lovely tribute' Joan Baez 'Fascinating' The Dylan Review Izzy Young was a distinctive figure
in the folk music and beatnik world. He set up the Folklore Center in New York's Greenwich
Village  where Patti Smith  Emmylou Harris and Allen Ginsburg performed  and he produced Bob
Dylan's first show in New York in the 1960s. In 1973  Izzy moved to Sweden  where he opened up
a similar cultural centre. In Stockholm  the young Philomène and her father resided in the
basement of the folklore centre  living a bohemian life  rich in culture and love. Thirty years
later Izzy is fighting dementia. In a raw and unembellished manner  Philomène depicts the
emotional rollercoaster of losing a beloved parent and a larger-than-life personality to an
invisible  invincible foe. Interspersed are small moments of joy as the fog briefly parts to
allow for a reconnection. Philomene masterfully intertwines the two timelines with a
beautifully sparse language that vibrates with emotion. Don't Forget Me is a deeply personal
book  yet the story itself is highly universal.
