2006 book 34

jeffrey moore's the memory artists
this extremely engaging novel tells the story of noel, a synaesthete who is struggling to care for his alzheimer's-stricken mother. also involved in the story is a medley of lovingly drawn characters noel encounters through a neurologist's office. i found the (somewhat bittersweet) ending to be a little pat, but i liked it despite that, b/c i was so drawn to these characters. really, i read this entire book today, between classes and over lunch--that's how sucked into it i was! i definitely recommend it.
