Description

I had been shot. A bullet in my back. I fell. Where did I fall? I fell from a great height, it seemed, into a painting in a gallery in a great City.

I found myself returning across centuries and generations to the end of my age.

I had been caught by the Artist in what seemed the womb of unexpected being in which one becomes sensitive to the end one has reached and to a new beginning.

It was an end, it was a new beginning one was called upon to probe and discover. We may dream, while still alive, of dying. But the dream is soon forgotten as are the edges and corners of a re-lived life of which we dream.

It is buried in the unconscious. We know that life fades into death but, in what degree, does life re-live itself as it dreams of dying?

The Ghost of memory is a novel about life and death or rather - to put it somewhat differently - about the close, almost indefinable cross-cultarlities between moments of life and death.

This is played out through a man who is mistakenly shot as a terrorist - he sees himself
