Alexandria, the capital of memory! All the writing which I had borrowed
from the living and the dead, until I myself had become a sort of
postscript to a letter which was never ended. Aciman's 1995 memoir, Out of Egypt, was reviewed widely. In The New York Times,
Michiko Kakutani described the volume as a "remarkable memoir...that
leaves the reader with a mesmerizing portrait of a now vanished world." She compared his work with that of Lawrence Durrell
and also wrote: "There are some wonderfully vivid scenes here, as
strange and marvelous as something in Garcia Marquez, as comical and
surprising as something in Chekhov. Aciman was born in Egypt in a French-speaking home where family members also spoke Italian, Greek, Ladino, and Arabic. His family were Jews of Turkish and Italian origin who settled in Alexandria, Egypt in 1905. Aciman moved with his family to Italy at the age of fifteen and then to New York at nineteen.
