Preston Bound

by Hernan Diaz

A transfer patient wakes up in hospital but has no idea why. The man has misplaced his identity and in the process, forgotten that he is mad. The man mistakes his transfer destination on his wristband for his name. And in the belief he is about to undergo dangerous brain surgery, he flees the hospital embarking on a quest to rekindle with his past and true purpose in life. He must deal with his madness, the authorities and an indifferent world. But along the way he finds help from unlikely sources such as the music he loves, an eminent dead psychologist and a gang of homeless youths.

Gave up 20% in.
Amazing writer, just finished: ‘Trust’ which was brilliant, prior to starting ‘Preston Bound’ which in my opinion, is a confusing ‘mess’ of a book.

This Hernan Diaz is not the Hernan Diaz of "In The Distance" and "Trust". This author has a daughter named Amara and the "real" Hernan Diaz has a daughter named Elsa. This guy is a sales manager somewhere while the other Hernan Diaz is an academician.
