The man without a shadow

Oates, Joyce Carol 1938- (author.).

Summary: In this taut and fascinating novel, the bestselling, award-winning author examines the mysteries of memory, personality, and identity and pierces the enigmatic force that drives human lives-love. In 1965, neuroscientist Margot Sharpe meets the attractive, charismatic Elihu Hoopes - whose devastated memory, unable to store new experiences or to retrieve the old, will make him the most famous and most studied amnesiac in history. Over the course of next thirty years, Margot herself becomes famous for her experiments with E.H - and inadvertently falls in love with him. This is a unique story of forbidden love, a kind of secret, evolving marriage, depicted in Joyce Carol Oates's tight, impassioned prose. It is an uncanny, ambitious, and structurally complex novel that penetrates the mind and illuminates the heart.
