Do You Remember When? Growing Up in the 1970s & 1980s - Memories, Stories & Conversation Games to Play Alone or Together

Before there were blue dots and push notifications, there was simply: you went outside, and you found your way back.Do You Remember When? is not just a book about the 1970s and 80s — it's a conversation starter, a memory excavator, and an invitation to talk to the people you love before their stories are gone.Across 22 chapters — from the sound of a house with no modem to the last time you waited by a landline for someone to call — Mohamedou Ould Slahi mixes short, plainspoken essays with real prompts: questions to answer alone, questions to ask someone older, claims to argue about, and blank pages where the book stops talking and you start.This isn't a Western-only nostalgia trip. Growing up between a desert tent in Mauritania and a rapidly modernizing world, the author writes: "e;Neither story cancels the other. This is not a declaration that this is how life used to be. It is an invitation."e;Write in it. Argue with it. Hand it to your mother, your son, your oldest friend, and ask: how was it for you?Do you remember when we didn't have a word for any of this? We just called it Tuesday.
