Jonathan Lethem plays with memory, time and character in this picaresque novel about a man called Chaos, stricken with amnesia in Hatfork, Wyoming, who discovers that his name is really Everett Moon and that he is from San Francisco. In this near-future, however, San Francisco has become a 'city of erasures,' perpetually foggy, where the names of the neighborhoods have all changed. Moon takes a psychotropic drug and continues his journey--this time among his own hallucinations--in a book that explores the nature of reality, personality, and imagination.
