Description and Reader Names: The Shadow of Memory, Bernard Comment's debut novel, brings a fairy-tale premise into the modern world, where information--and its loss--can be a matter of life and death. A young man tormented by his feeble memory meets an elderly man, Robert, endowed with the recall of an elephant.

Soon, in exchange for becoming his live-in servant, Robert agrees to allow his young protégé to inherit his prodigious memory upon his death. While this might seem a fair if absurd exchange, Robert's demands become progressively more macabre, until the narrator is forced to decide what he is truly willing to sacrifice for the ability to remember.
