For 20 years, Clive Wearing has been forgetting everything that just 
happened. All day long, he believes he has just woken from a deep haze. Now, 
his wife has written a biography capturing his daunting fight for normalcy 
in a world that has no center.

[...]

In March 1985, just one and a half years after their wedding, Clive was 
rushed to the hospital with a bad case of encephalitis -- an infection of 
the brain. The infection spread quickly and he fell into a coma for more 
than two weeks. When he came back to life, MRI scans made clear just how bad 
the damage was. Several regions of his brain were severely damaged and the 
hippocampus -- which plays an important role in memory formation -- was 
totally destroyed.

[...]

As time went by, Wearing calmed down slightly. Once, his wife found him 
staring at a chocolate in his hand. Again and again, he closed his hand and 
opened it again. Each time, a new sweet -- one which he had never seen 
before -- reappeared. "How do they do it?" he asked.

Almost everything in his surroundings was a riddle. Especially when Wearing 
played solitaire to relax as he often had before his illness. As soon as he 
looked away, the layout of the cards had changed completely. He wrote down: 
"Cards NOT dealt by me."

Increasingly, his whole world seemed like a shell game. He feared a 
conspiracy and it was his mission to find his enemies. Again and again, 
Wearing would deal out the cards and then write down the pattern -- even 
going so far as creating a secret code that only he could understand. He 
didn't get far. Now, he not only found cards changed around by an unknown 
hand, but also an unknown note -- in his own handwriting but clearly not 
written by him. He had just woken up after all. Several times he asked: "Who 
has done this to me?"
