An allegorical tale for these modern times exploring themes of morality, loyalty, and responsibility in a world that feels all too familiar, that is rapidly becoming reminiscent of a Philip K. Dick novel. Discover the shocking truth behind this mind-bending tale of a world-weary, bereaved and famous surgeon faced with a dilemma when his late son’s friend tells him he is suffering from a mortal illness. He knows that only he can save him, until he begins to wonder if there is more to his desire for help.

‘In Memory, Yet Crystal Clear’ is a strange story. It is told from the point of view of an expert surgeon who befriended a billionaire, genius dictator then does a surgery on him that makes him nigh immortal. However most of the story is not exactly told by the surgeon, or by event told in real time, but is told by the surgeon watching a television show that is providing a dramatization of the surgeon and billionaire’s friendship. The surgeon provides thoughts and commentary on what he is seeing on the television, but the whole thing gives it a strange, impersonal feels. Very much being told about something, rather than seeing it unfold.
Within the story there is a whole lot of details of how be billionaire dictator came to be, with people slowly handing over control of everything to him. The way it happens doesn’t feel overly realistic, as it’s presented as more people actively giving up their agency to him, rather than it creeping up and taking them unawares. The concepts are interesting, they just don’t feel like something that could actually happen. There is also a whole lot of explanations of the guy’s inventions, such as teleportation and how it works (and how it proves there is no soul!) that just don’t flow with the story. The author put them in because he had a cool idea, either technologically or philosophically, that he wanted to tell but it doesn’t necessarily serve the story.
Once the story gets up to the present day and moves on from the ‘retelling through the TV’ element I enjoyed it more, with the ending being quite good.
Narration by Tom Remick is good. There is very few characters in this tale for him to have to differentiate for the listener, but I feel he did a good job of it, and of keeping interest through the book. He is generally well paced, easy to follow and engaging.
