Time Dissolver

He wakes in a motel room that isn't his, beside a woman who means nothing to him, wearing clothes that fit but don't belong. When he steps outside, he discovers eleven years have evaporated like morning fog. The Korean War came and went. Eisenhower won and lost an election. Stalin died. His life happened without him. What happened to those lost years? More importantly: what did he do, or what was done to him, that required such complete erasure? Jerry Sohl's 1953 masterwork is both a propulsive mystery and a disturbing meditation on identity. If you can remove a man's memories, can you remove his soul? What remains when everything that made him who he was simply stops? Time Dissolver is the kind of science fiction that lingers like a fever dream, noir and strange and deeply unsettling.
