Affirmation (remainder)

Peter Sinclair is tormented by bereavement and failure, in this haunting, dream-like 1981 novel. In an attempt to conjure some meaning from his life, Peter embarks on a memoir, but finds himself writing the story of another man, in another, imagined, world, whose insidious attraction draws him toward it. Christopher Priest (also the author of the James Tate Black Memorial Prize and World Fantasy Award winner The Prestige) gives us an autobiography that isn't-partly a thriller, partly a haunting study of schizophrenia.
