About the book: year / Wade, by the way, has a bad memory: for the first couple of hours after being shot in the head, he just staggers from corner to corner, trying to come to his senses , and remembers where he is, what he is and why he is. This couple of hours is a relief when the voices are silenced and the brain does not try to throw up any more broken pictures from the past. Those couple of hours after getting shot in the head are a relief. But not for Peter, who time after time gets the honor of seeing Wade’s brains smeared on the wall.
