Jonathan Lethem
In Jonathan Lethem's wryly funny second novel, we meet a young man named Chaos, who's living in a movie theater in post-apocalyptic Wyoming, drinking alcohol, and eating food out of cans. It's an unusual and at times unbearable existence, but Chaos soon discovers that his post-nuclear reality may have no connection to the truth. So he takes to the road with a girl named Melinda in order to find answers.
As the pair travels through the United States, they find that, while each town has been affected differently by the mysterious source of the apocalypse, none of the people they meet can fill in their incomplete memories or answer their questions. Gradually, figures from Chaos's past, including some who appear only under the influence of intravenously administered drugs, make Chaos remember some of his forgotten life as a man named Moon.

Excellent narrator improves adequate story

Later Lethem (Motherless Brooklyn & The Fortress of Solitude) & Chronic City) is more confident and sings with his own voice. This one apes and apes well at times, but leaves a lot of soul out of the narrative. Still, I can't demolish Amnesia Moon too hard despite the sometimes wispy narrative and repetitive set pieces because I see the latent talent in Lethem and just want more of HIS voice, more of HIS taint and HIS talent.
* And to be fair to Lethem, there are plenty of mediocre PKD novels out there too.
** Although I do appreciate how Lethem's love for PKD being is felt in his editing of The Exegesis of Philip K. Dick and The Philip K. Dick Collection.

Would you listen to Amnesia Moon again? Why?
This book is without a doubt the trippiest, weirdest, most mind-bending book I've read.What other book might you compare Amnesia Moon to and why?
Only Philip K. Dick's UBIK is this confusing and ambiguous and weird and far-out.Have you listened to any of Scott Sowers’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I have not.Who was the most memorable character of Amnesia Moon and why?
The most memorable character was the bad guy. You'll see why. I can't describe it.Trippiest mindf*** ever
