Marjorie AgosÃn è una poetessa pluri-premiata, saggista, narratrice e attivista, oltre che docente di Lingua Spagnola e di Letteratura Latino Americana al Wellesley College. Il suo lavoro sui diritti umani, in particolare sui diritti delle donne in Cile, ha ricevuto il riconoscimento da parte delle Nazioni Unite. La Professoressa AgosÃn ha vinto molti importanti premi letterari in Cile e in questo libro usa ancora una volta la sua poesia evocativa e la sua voce ben distinta per puntare le luci sulla storia nascosta di Venezia la cui ricchezza ben merita di essere registrata e ricordata.
Il custode della memoria racconta gli incontri tra l'autrice e Aldo Izzo, il Custode della Memoria, del titolo, l'uomo che si è preso cura del Cimitero Ebraico veneziano per più di 30 anni. Quest'opera tuttavia va molto oltre il semplice omaggio all'infaticabile lavoro di Izzo, per divenire un viaggio sensoriale attraverso la antica città di Venezia, nel quale si intrecciano le memorie e le storie di coloro che ci hanno preceduto.
Venezia, forse la più liminale tra le città , fa da sfondo a questa meditazione sugli aspetti profondi dell'esistenza umana. I primordiali contrasti tra luce e tenebre, acqua e terra, passato e presente, vita e morte, vengono esaltati dalle atmosfere delle fotografie in bianco e nero di Samuel Shats, che regalano uno sguardo indimenticabile e unico sui misteri della città .
Con il progredire del racconto, gli aspetti insoliti e talvolta inquietanti di questa storia di Venezia si svelano, rendendo il libro molto di più che una semplice passeggiata attraverso le antiche calli della Serenissima.
