This review is about two books that deal with memory loss.
Find Me, by Laura Van den Berg, is a novel. I haven't read Van den Berg before, as I recall. The review mentions a short-story collection written before this novel, Isle of Youth, that sounds worth reading as well.
I have read one book by Kazuo Ishiguro, and attempted another. This review announces the publication of The Buried Giant, by Mr. Ishiguro. The book that I read, and greatly enjoyed, was Remains of the Day. I don't think that book appears in this journal, I think I read it before I started this project. The book that I attempted was The Unconsoled. A copy of this sits on a shelf at home. Every time I see it I wonder if I should try it again. Previous forays have been unsuccessful.
Hmm. This just in (4 March 2015). I noticed a Tweet from NPR Books about The Buried Giant, which doesn't make it sound tempting. "Lost in its own fog" kinda reminds me of how I felt about The Unconsoled. Some day maybe we should have a talk about who reads certain books. Here's the NPR Books Review.

*Normally, tropical storms and hurricanes avoid the area of the Hawaiian
Islands. *
Why? Because the nearby Pacific is usually too cool!
