Memories make us what we are. So does forgetting. Sully is a fifty-something-year-old barfly playing out his days, until a series of events rouses him, and opens the floodgates of memory. At the library, where he works, he's asked to lead a Great Books class, and not until after he agrees does he discover that all the participants happen to be homeless. A mystery at the Hi-Note, the bar he haunts, inspires him to begin writing a detective story. He starts seeing Linda, a woman he works with. He's enlisted to write an essay for the Dive Bar of the Year competition by the Hi-Note's owner, in exchange for a free tab. And the memories-of his days as an athlete and his career as a drinker-come fast and furious. As he takes up again in earnest two enthusiasms of his youth-reading and writing-Sully also discovers a cause. Justice, he decides, is owed as much to the things we can't remember as to those we can't forget.

Man is the only animal that contemplates death, and also the only animal that shows any doubt of its finality." - William Ernest Hocking. Everyone thinks about death from time to time, even if no one really expects it to happen to them. In this book you'll find a wide-ranging collection of quotations about death, spoken or written by the famous, the near-famous or the not-so-famous. For example:"I am dying, with the help of many doctors." -Alexander the Great."I did not get my spaghetti. I got Spaghetti-Os. I want the press to know this." - Condemned murderer Thomas Grasso, referring to his last meal."In heaven all the interesting people are missing." - Philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche.
