Chapter 8: The Agony and the Ecstasy of Memory Lane

Today we're going to discuss the thrilling tale of "The Forgetting Incident." Where our hero, a man named Bob, forgets his own name.

But that's not the half of it. No, no. He also forgets his phone number, his favorite food (which is clearly 'chicken'), and his entire family's names, faces, and birthdays.

And so, the eternal question: can a man who's forgotten his name, his family, and his own existence still find love and happiness in this cruel, unforgiving world?
