The article presents information on the book "The Future Lasts Forever: A Memoir," by Louis Althusser. The publication of the English translation of Louis Althusser's memoir has provoked a lively response among the local Intelligentsia. People are talking about it and it has been widely reviewed. This interest is no doubt traceable in part at least to the sensational aspect of the French philosopher's story. The truth is more complex Althusser was neither a genius nor just a nut. As he tells the story in his memoir, he was born in Algeria in 1918 to middle class French parents, who returned to France as his father moved up the hierarchy in the bank he worked for.
