Today's episode features Hugh Breakey discussing his new novel The Beautiful Fall

Today on the show...

If you woke up one day with no memory of who you were, where do you think you would place your trust?

Every 179 days Robbie forgets everything about himself. The last time this happened all he had was a note, written by himself to guide his future.

He keeps himself protected by avoiding the world; shut in, deliveries to the door and very little outside interaction. He can’t risk that the forgetting happens and he is left at the mercy of a stranger. Robbie has a project that structures his days. He’s building an elaborate, record breaking dominoes pattern.

And that’s enough until one day, not long before the next forgetting a new delivery person comes to Robbies door and he feels a spark of something?
