What if you could suddenly remember everything that ever happened to you, every joy and every sorrow that you had ever endured? Would it be a blessing -- or a curse?

This is the fate of the residents of the town of Clarence,
who fall under the spell of a strange and powerful drug that
unlocks their memories. The past comes flooding back without
the buffer of time, and the townspeople, young and old, find
themselves awash in their own reminiscences -- of love and
death, of war and childhood, of happiness they've
experienced, and sins they've committed. Beautifully rendered with a light comic touch, this
bittersweet novel is about more than the sum of its
beguiling parts. Spilling Clarence explores our relationship
with our histories, the seductive pull of regret, the
unreliability of memory, and the bliss of forgetting. A
universe peopled by exquisitely drawn characters, Spilling
Clarence is a moving introduction to the impressive talents
of an exciting new writer.
