Description
A mysterious text on memory appears in Simon Critchley's office, followed by a series of astrological charts predicting philosopher deaths. One chart reveals his own fate, sparking obsession. A final box arrives with a model of Giulio Camillo's Venetian memory theatre, triggering hallucinations. Critchley becomes fixated on the details of his life and death, uncovering a complex web of knowledge and prediction. As he delves deeper, the boundaries between reality and fantasy begin to blur. This book is a thought-provoking exploration of memory, knowledge, and the human condition.
