A mad Borgesian story told as an autobiography. Is Critchley somehow related to the Remainder's narrator? And to what degree is this all true?

Irritating and pretentious. Also describes the demise of the dinosaurs as having taken place 15 million years ago, rather than 65 million. I wonder if Critchley's book on David Bowie thinks Bowie was born in 1998.

What did I just read? This was interesting, odd and conceptual. 
It’s a tiny book, just 76 pages, about the philosophy of memory. It gives an interesting glimpse into the mind of an intellect that looses himself (like… extremely) in certain ideas and concepts.
