Man Walks Into A Room by Nicole Krauss

After a radical medical procedure erases his personal memories, a man wakes to a life he no longer recognizes and must piece together who he was from other people’s accounts and the remnants of his past; as he reads journals, confronts former relationships and legal entanglements, and tries to define himself without the narrative of memory, the novel explores identity, love, ownership, and the ethical limits of scientific intervention.
