Memory Clinic

Hardcover

A shadow government sets sail to discover the whale of Penlan Tork. Clara is desperate to capture all life in her version of Ada Lovelace s Analytic Engine. The ugliest man in a cave must rescue captives from the Emperor’s mind. Time and again we see the twentieth century through the waspish eyes of Johannes Boanerge’s adoring biographer: modernism, 1968, the house guillotine, Anatolian goats, genocide. A couple enjoys (then regret) kidnapping their gas man. The beauty of an office scar. Prim-passionate Charlotte exchanges letters with an infatuated Franz. Americans in a Portuguese pool make up some rules with Europe on the brink. The view from a ladder when ivy threatens our street . . . all this, then some more, can be enjoyed in Steven Earnshaw’s debut short story collection, MEMORY CLINIC.
