BERNIE MADOFF’S MEMORIES.

BERNIE MADOFF’S MEMORIES. What must if be like to be Bernie Madoff? After a life of luxury, he is universally hated and reviled, rejected by his family, and today was sentenced to 150 years in jail. And yet, I wonder. He has his happy memories. Memories of the things that were important to him, memories of the days and years when he was always the most important person in the room, treated with deference wherever he went. Knowing that the respect was not deserved seems not to have mattered to him. I suspect that if Bernie Madoff had the opportunity to live his life over again, he would choose the same path.

    Is he different from any other criminal in that regard? Perhaps serial killers also have happy memories of their crimes and other things.

    We’re enjoying two weeks of sun and low 80s in Sweden. But I’ve also been reading English translations of gory Swedish detective novels, including Henning Mankel, Stieg Larsson and lately Ã…ke Edwardson. Hence my cynical response!

    Serial killers keep souvenirs and apparently love to summon their memories when they are finally imprisoned.

    I have read about some instances of this. It is horrible to think about.
