About the Book

Are there things in your life you would do anything to forget? Seaside magician Peter loves his work in an old people's home on the South Coast where he cheers up patients with Alzheimers. It helps him forget a traumatic experience fifteen years ago that ruined his life. When he meets Dr Tavasligh, a neuropsychologist disgraced after a scientific experiement on an elderly patient went diastrously wrong, they become unlikely friends. But Dr Tavasligh needs a new guinea pig and Peter is perfect prey. The doctor has recently invented a mindwipe machine that can delete Peter's memories and restore him to life with a new and happier identity. In a Faustian pact, Peter must reveal his entire life to the doctor. Gleefully, Tavalisgh documents the life and loves of Peter Ruchio, seaside conjuror and children's entertainer, whose time on earth was ruined by a small brat at a birthday party fifteen years ago...

About the Author :
Marius Brill is a prize-winning writer whose debut novel Making Love- A Conspiracy of the Heart was published to great acclaim. How To Forget is his second novel. His life and thought are slightly caught at www.mariusbrill.com

Review :
"Fantastic, hilarious... verbal pyrotechnics, supported by a fecund imagination of the first order" "How to Forget is a genuinely funny romp through some of the darker areas of the human mind and some of the more life-threatening areas of mentalism and magic. An engaging and good-hearted read" "A smorgasbord of romantic romp, pseudo-scholarship, urban melodrama and metafictional mystery" "Highly entertaining yet intelligent comic novel...Brill's sense of fun is evident on every page" "An absurd, hilarious, spy-cum-action-cum-postmodern thriller, it is incredibly clever without showing off, self-referential without being self-congratulatory, and a damn good read. Fantastic"
