Elefantengedächtnis

The narrative feels deeply introspective yet rooted in Portugal's past. I'm curious what motivated the author to blend personal and national histories this way.

There were moments where the story felt reflective and slow, but it seemed intentional to deepen the themes. How did others experience these sections?

The title references an elephant, which seems symbolic, but I’m not sure what it represents about memory or burden. What do others think it stands for?
