Rent The Diagnosis

Synopsis

Bill Chalmers, a Boston executive on his way to work, abruptly loses his memory and has no idea who he is or what he's supposed to be doing. As his memory returns (after a series of daunting experiences) he begins to have other symptoms, including the loss of all his bodily functions. He deteriorates further and further, and by novel's end he has withdrawn completely into himself. This bleak novel, with its harrowing plot and disaffected hero, is an exploration of the increasingly off-balance position of humanity in the 21st century. A New York Times Notable Book for the year 2000.
