　　The Memory of All That is Katharine Weber’s memoir of her

extraordinary family.

Her maternal grandmother, Kay Swift, was known both for her own

music (she was the first woman to compose the score to a hit

Broadway show, Fine and Dandy) and for her ten-year romance with

George Gershwin. Their love affair began during Swift’s marriage to

James Paul Warburg, the multitalented banker and economist who

advised (and feuded with) FDR. Weber creates an intriguing and

intimate group portrait of the renowned Warburg family, from her

great-great-uncle, the eccentric art historian Aby Warburg, whose

madness inspired modern theories of iconography, to her

great-grandfather Paul M. Warburg, the architect of the Federal

Reserve System whose unheeded warnings about the stock-market crash

of 1929 made him “the Cassandra of Wall Street.”

As she throws new light on her beloved grandmother’s life and

many amours, Weber also considers the role the psychoanalyst

Gregory Zilboorg played in her family history, along with the ways

the Warburg family has been as celebrated for its accomplishments

as it has been vilified over the years by countless conspiracy

theorists (from Henry Ford to Louis Farrakhan), who labeled Paul

Warburg the ringleader of the so-called international Jewish

banking conspiracy.

Her mother, Andrea Swift Warburg, married Sidney Kaufman, but

their unlikely union, Weber believes, was a direct consequence of

George Gershwin’s looming presence in the Warburg family. A

notorious womanizer, Weber’s father was a peripatetic filmmaker who

made propaganda and training films for the OSS during World War II

before producing the first movie with smells, the regrettable flop

that was AromaRama. He was as much an enigma to his daughter as he

was to the FBI, which had him under surveillance for more than

forty years, and even noted Katharine’s birth in a memo to J. Edgar

Hoover.

Colorful, evocative, insightful, and very funny, The Memory of

All That is an enthralling look at a tremendously influential—and

highly eccentric—family, as well as a consideration of how their

stories, with their myriad layers of truth and fiction, have both

provoked and influenced one of our most prodigiously gifted

writers.
