So yesterday there I was���sitting in a fancy conference room with a new client (an emeritus professor) and three of the team members of his project, which includes the book I���m editing. They���re asking questions. My opinions. I���m trying to remember a really famous book, mainstream metaphysics, to use as an example. The title won���t come. The name of the famous author won���t even come. So I think (and talk) fast and use a different book to make my point. The meeting goes on. When it ends, the professor hands me a check and escorts me through the lobby to the gate. Cordial conversation. When do I remember the book title and author? About four hours later.
