The other day, trading book recommendations with a friend, I forgot author Samanta Schweblin’s alliterative name, remembered she was South American but forgot the name of the nation, googled “long country, starts with ahhh” and waited for the broken card catalogue in my brain to figure out where I’d misfiled the “AR” words or Spanish literary translation, to pattern-match geographical borders to names.
Great read. It really resonates, I have to find ways round a word that's missing, my daughters are good at guessing, my husband needs more clues! I hadn't really thought about viral damage to memory. I also just wrote a piece on memory I published here yesterday. So interesting to hear your story.
