From book jacket:

Samsom Greene, a young and popular professor at Columbia, is found wandering in teh NEvada desert. When his wife Anna comes to bring him home, she finds a man who remembers nothing, not even his own name. The removal of a small brain tumor saves his life, but his memories beyond the age of twelve are permanently lost. An emigrant in his own life, set free from everythign and everyone who once defined him, Samson Greene believes he has nothing left to lose. So when a charismatic scientist asks Samsom to pariticpate ina bold experiment, he agrees. What he gains is nothing short of the beautifully painful revelation of what it is to be a human being.
