Publisher's Synopsis
Fiction. In KILLING TIME, a car accident leaves a man without memory--he has no recollection of the months leading up to the accident, but he has also lost the ability to form new memories. This is an overt example of what we all do anyway, says Hank Schachte. We construct our memories at the time we are remembering them, and alter them as our belief system/persona is altered over time, so that the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves reinforce our current understanding. It is...a thought experiment.
