Very unusual philosophical sci fi. A famous actor/TV star wakes up in a flop house and cannot be identified even though he believes he knows who he is. He gets the attention of cops and a couple women and in the end believes that most of his life is perception, and he's been on a drug all the time. You never really get a solid explanation of that.
This writer is very good at what he does, he keeps your interest and pulls you along with him in the story even tho you may not want to go. He had some interesting views on mourning and death around page 112 or so.

That is a pdf version you can download or read online.
He's written a number of books and since I enjoyed the first one will keep reading him for awhile between modern writers. This guy has been around for awhile.
