The Vintage Book of Amnesia: An Anthology of Writing on the Subject of Memory Loss Paperback - 2000
by Jonathan Lethem (Editor)
Jonathan Lethem is perhaps the most active literary voice mining the genre margins of the culture. In this collection he draws on the works of such unforgettable authors as Julio Cortazar, Philip K. Dick, Shirley Jackson, and Oliver Sacks. What Lethem does is nothing less than define a new genre of literature--the amnesia story.
From the publisher
First line
POOLE had begun to give an ironic inflection to the phrase "in my former life."
From the jacket flap
Jonathan Lethem is perhaps our most active literary voice mining the genre margins of our culture. In this unique collection he creates an anthology that no one else could. He draws on the work of such unforgettables as Julio Cortazar, who presents a man caught between the ancient and modern worlds unable to say which is real; Philip K. Dick, who tells the story of a man trapped on a spaceship of the somnolent, unable to sleep and slowly losing his mind; Shirley Jackson, who takes us on a nightmarish trip across town with a young secretary; and Oliver Sacks, who presents us with an aging hippie who possesses no memory of anything that has taken place since the early seventies.
What Lethem has done is nothing less than define a new genre of literature-the amnesia story-and in the process he invites us to sit down, pick up the book, and begin to forget.
Also including: John Franklin Bardin, Donald Barthelme, Thomas M. Disch, Karn Joy Fowler, David Grand, Anna Kavan, Haruki Murakami, Flann O'Brien, Edmund White, and many others.
