Book Information

Samson Greene wanders into the Nevada desert, unaware of how he reached there, oblivious even to his own identity, and with a tumour pressing against his brain. When he is picked up and taken to the hospital, there is some possibility that his life could be saved, but whether his mind could be saved, his memories be retained is not clear. Anna, his wife of ten years, is by his side when he undergoes the surgery and comes out alive, but without twenty four years of his memory. He cannot recognise his wife, his beautiful house, and the rows of books that he had lovingly collected and read. It is a difficult situation for Samson, who feels like a stranger in his own life, and for Anna to see her husband separated from her by the chasm of oblivion. As Samson and Anna try to come to terms with their new life, some of their questions are answered, the others are left unresolved. To understand his new self, to find a meaning for his new life Samson has to go to the desert again.
