In \u003ci\u003eMemory\u003c\/i\u003e, it becomes the problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContinuing the psychological descent begun in \u003ci\u003eFracture\u003c\/i\u003e, this novel follows an Australian psychologist living in Vietnam as his relationship with time, memory, and selfhood becomes increasingly unstable. Days repeat. Encounters feel familiar before they occur. The past intrudes without warning, and the present refuses to hold still.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStructured around walking, observation, and compulsive documentation, \u003ci\u003eMemory\u003c\/i\u003e charts the experience of derealisation and cognitive slippage with unsettling precision. The narrator records his life as if evidence might anchor reality, yet every act of writing introduces new uncertainty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProfessional insight no longer provides distance. Diagnostic language frays. Therapeutic frameworks fail to contain grief, exile, and the slow erosion of identity. Even memory, once a refuge, reveals itself as unreliable, mutable, and deeply subjective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet against the fog-laden streets and markets of Đà Lạt, the novel uses place as an active psychological force.
