About this item

[LIBRARY EDITION Audiobook CD format in sturdy Vinyl Case with cloth sleeves that keep compact discs protected.] [Read by Neil Shah] A deeply felt, closely researched, and intensely personal book, The Answer to the Riddle Is Me, drawn from MacLean's award-winning This American Life essay, confronts and celebrates the dark, mysterious depths of our psyches and the myriad ways we are all unknowable, especially to ourselves. Imagine waking up in a train station in India with no idea who you are or how you got there. This is what happened to David MacLean. -- In 2002, at age twenty-eight, David MacLean woke up in a foreign land with his memory wiped clean. No money. No passport. No identity. -- Taken to a mental hospital by the police, MacLean then started to hallucinate so severely he had to be tied down.
