A Life Between the Layers
Memory, evidence and the distance between a life as lived and a life as recorded. It is a book about trauma, but it is also a book about evidence, disbelief, and the right to describe a life in one’s own name — including the parts that never fully return.
A developing autobiographical record. A first-person account of dissociative amnesia across a lifetime, unusual for its refusal to treat returned memory as verdict and for its insistence on holding recollection, body, and institutional record in separate hands.
