A mesmerizing novella about perception and longing... He says it's gone. They say it never existed. Daniel Hale is The Man Who Remembered the Moon. "Thoroughly satisfying." - The Globe and Mail When the moon disappears, Daniel Hale is shocked to find that he's the only person who remembers it. He is quickly committed. As he struggles to comprehend what might have happened to the moon - and to himself - only his doctor, the tenacious Marvin Pallister, holds out hope that Daniel might be cured of his delusion - now dubbed Hale-Pallister's Lunacy. A virtuoso vanishing act, a puzzle in die-cut pieces, and an unexpected meditation on loss. The Man Who Remembered the Moon is a cerebral, witty novella, baffling, enigmatic and haunting.
