THE ANSWER TO THE RIDDLE IS ME A Memoir of Amnesia

Neil Shah’s smooth voice is perfect for MacLean’s introspective memoir about finding himself in a foreign country without any recollection of his identity. Shah grasps MacLean’s utter confusion and panic during the horrific hallucinations he experienced, caused by an antimalarial drug. Shah flawlessly simulates the Indian accents of those who tried to help solve the mystery of MacLean’s identity and why he was in India. The story is both captivating and thought provoking as MacLean rediscovers his personality, his past, and his present. Having someone else vocalize this memoir adds to the sense of an author who has lost his sense of self. D.Z. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2014]
