Everything I Don't Remember by Jonas Hassen Khemiri
3.0
This was a puzzling read, but thanks to NetGalley for the advance copy.
Samuel, a young man, has been killed in a car crash. An unnamed writer interviews Samuel's friends and relatives to try and find out what happened. Was it a murder, suicide or a tragic accident?
The 'story' is very different in the way in which we learn about Samuel's life. We are given short sections told from someone's view-and it isn't always clear who is speaking. The voices do become quite distinctive, but you can't trust what they say as everyone remembers things differently.
Much lauded from what I can gather, but I didn't particularly feel anything for the characters so I felt rather distanced from it all.
