A Short, Sharp Shock by Kim Stanley Robinson
An amnesiac man awakens on a strange shore and sets out along a narrow, uncanny spit of land, encountering odd peoples, surreal landscapes, and enigmatic episodes as he searches for his lost past and a woman he half-remembers; spare and dreamlike, the narrative reads like an allegorical quest that quietly probes identity, memory, storytelling, creation, and mortality as the protagonist moves toward an uncertain, symbolic resolution.
