Jane finds herself, quite literally, standing alone on a street in Boston. See Jane Run opens with the introduction of Jane Whittaker. The problem with that is I don’t have the right background to understand the scientific texts that can fully explain that sort of thing.īut when I see a novel that deals with the subject of total memory loss – like See Jane Run or Being Henry David (which I recommended back in January) – I know that reading that novel would be the perfect opportunity to try to get a better understanding of the concept.Īnd that understanding comes even easier when the novel is as good as See Jane Run. The way a person’s brain can just block out their life entirely seems so mysterious to me, and I can’t help wanting to try to understand it better. I don’t know why the idea of total memory loss intrigues me so much, but it does.
