About This Book

A first-person narrator supports an elderly, disoriented man whose sudden memory-jumps spill fragments of other identities and famous names. Living amid squalor, poverty, and furtive alien tourists, the narrator wrestles with addiction, desperation, and the temptation to exploit the old man’s recall as a shortcut to power and security. Scenes shift between gritty survival on Skid Row and fevered recollections, examining moral compromise, the strain of caregiving, and the corrosive effects of craving and deceit on both men.
