Scarecrow Has a Gun
Scarecrow Has a Gun: A Novel | Michael Paul Kozlowsky
1 post | 2 read
Never trust other people's memories, and watch out for your own Sean Whittlesea was there when his wife was murdered. He saw the light leave her eyes. He held her dead body in his arms. He knows he wept, but he cannot recollect a single other detail. Tormented by the tragedy, Sean relives the horror over and over again. As he struggles to recall what really happened, his imagination serves up an endless chain of scenarios. The truth, however, remains hidden in the vault of his memory, and the key is nowhere to be found. Nearly two decades later, Sean, now remarried and a father of two, wins a bizarre contest hosted by his eccentric boss. The prize is the Memory Palace, a state-of-the-art black box that purportedly allows its possessor to relive every moment he has ever experienced, playing out all the memories on a screen. While the small machine at first appears to be the answer to the mystery surrounding the death of his wife, it instead upends Seans life. He pushes his family further and further away as the Memory Palace forces him to confront harsh realities and difficult questions that he lacks the strength to face or answer. Spiraling downward, Sean encounters increasingly harrowing challenges that force him to realize that his memory is not the only thing at stake. To recover the truth about his past, Sean must fight for his very life.

This was a fast read, an intriguing thought experiment, a philosophical sci-fi book. What if we could revisit our memories? How powerful would we be? Could we be? Would we choose to be? ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #earlyreviewers #arc

rubyslippersreads Is this title based on the fact that, in The Wizard of Oz movie, the Scarecrow does actually bring a gun to the Haunted Forest to battle the Wicked Witch? (Too bad he didn‘t bring a water pistol. 😂) 2y

Avanders @Itchyfeetreader no worries - I must have missed it when I checked! Thank you! 🍁🍂🎃♥️ 2y
Avanders @rubyslippersreads yes!!! So few people remember that from that scene, and that was the author‘s whole premise — we have real memories of real things, but we remember things differently than reality… but what if we could see the actual memories? I would never have known that but of trivia!! 2y

Avanders @alexus_sb hi your sender checked tracking and reported this: It says it is being held at her post office at customer request. They attempted to deliver it on the 10th. 2y
alexus_sb @Avanders I had no clue! There was no note! Please tell my sender that I‘m super sorry! I‘m going to go to the post literally right now to see if they still have it! Also, the person I sent to should have already received theirs! I‘ll hunt for the tracking number! 2y
