FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Dazzling, inventive, witty: a writer pieces together the story of a young mans death in an exhilarating narrative puzzle reminiscent of the hit podcast Serial A young man called Samuel dies, but was it an accident or suicide? An unnamed writer with an agenda of his own sets out to piece together Samuels story. Through conversations with friends, relatives and neighbours, a portrait emerges: the loving grandchild, the reluctant bureaucrat, the loyal friend, the contrived poser. The young man who would do anything for his girlfriend Laide and share everything with his friend Vandad. Until Vandad, marginalised and broke, desperate to get closer to Samuel, drives a wedge between the friends, and Samuel loses them both. Everything I Dont Remember is an enthralling tale of love and memory. It is also the story of a writer who, in filling out the contours of Samuels life, is trying to grasp a universal truth - in the end, how do we account for the substance of a life?
