In 2002, David MacLean woke up in a train station in Secunderabad, India with no money, no passport, and no idea who he was, or why he was in India.

He was taken to a local mental institution, where he was eventually diagnosed with amnesia, a bizarre medical reaction he'd had to Lariam, a common malaria medication. David woke up that day to find he had forgotten his family, he had forgotten his friends, and he had forgotten the woman he loved. When he returned to the States, he was a stranger in his own home. And as he slowly pieced together the fragments of his former life, he found it forever changed.

In The Answer to the Riddle is Me, David tells the story of the horrifying, sometimes comic and heart-rending year in which he lost his identity and reinvented himself. In so doing, he explores the mysterious depths of our personal psyches -
who are we without the benefit of memory and experience? What ultimately makes us knowable to ourselves?
