Overview

This is an imagined adult coming-of-age story told by an injured soldier who awakens one day with no memory of his life before that moment. From this shock he embarks on a quest to recover his identity, or at least learn how to survive in a society of adults who have had years to learn the psychological and cultural nuances of daily life and relationships. Mentally he is a child in the body of an adult, with adult urges and yearnings he does not yet understand. What he does sense deeply is he has missed a lot, and he is missing a lot of life. This longing drives him to closely observe and attempt to understand the daily lives taken for granted by those around him, without the practice and adult perspective possessed by the people he encounters. Along the way his naivety has an equally profound effect on those he meets as he seeks what he has not yet the word for-love, while he embraces art for clues into how others perceive and attempt to make sense of their lives.
