Beschreibung

<p><b>An elegant, haunting dystopian novel about individuals relearning how to navigate the world after a mysterious illness strips them of their memories</b><br><br>Nestled in an idyllic locale beside the sea, the Center is a place of rehabilitation for those afflicted by a strange illness that has swept through the population, erasing their memories and any sense of identity. Students arrive at the Center nameless-none of them know who they are or how they got there.<br><br>Each day, they attend classes that will help them relearn the right ways to speak and live; they practice the roles they hope to assume once they graduate and return to society. In their free time, they negotiate a burgeoning social hierarchy and watch old videos together, stories of characters whose names they adopt: Maria, Chino, Ross, Chandler, Gunther . . . But as flashes of memories-of pets, lovers, errands, and beloved music-emerge, some students start to question the Center's strict instruction and begin to explore different ways in which they might define themselves.<br><br>A stunning, intimately told story about what makes us who we are, <i>The Definitions</i> examines the limits of language, the power of connection, and how the human spirit can flourish even under the most oppressive conditions.</p>
