About This Book

A man repeatedly slips between two distinct realities: one a domestic scene where an unfamiliar woman treats him as her husband, the other a laboratory bench strewn with electronic parts and identifications that name him as someone else affiliated with a research firm. Clear memories conflict with physical evidence, blank intervals appear without explanation, and attempts to verify identities by phone and documents deepen the confusion. The narrative follows his investigation of these discontinuities and probes questions about personal identity, embodiment, and the trustworthiness of perception.
