When someone dies, we have that personâs papers and things to look at and use to understand and create memories about the life that has left us. Sometimes, however, the person stays and the papers and tokens are lost, as in a fire. Then we have only memories without material objects to help enhance them. This juxtaposition is one of the themes in a novel entitled the âMetaphysical Touch,â by Syvia Brownrigg, an American author with roots in Mendocino County, a long experience in London, and currently living near San Francisco.
Sylvia Brownrigg recommends âOut of Sheer Rage,â by Jeff Dyer.
