8.35 Amnesia in Utteris
By Patrick Suskind. All those magnificent books we have read, all those stories and characters. But we rarely remember them, do we? The trouble is, details get forgotten. The classics are consigned to vague notions of the man who killed his wife, that tale set in Madrid, and those memorable storms in the tropics. If people can't remember the details, why bother reading at all? Mark Straker reads this musing on the world of books by Patrick Suskind , the acclaimed author of the best-selling novel Perfume.
