"Hitchcock’s great mystery includes a wonderful character called Mr. Memory, not present in the novel by John Buchan. He was based on a drop-out know-it-all autodidact named W.J.M. Bottle, who was billed in vaudeville as Datas, The Memory Man."

Imperfect memory leads to wanting more
The crafting behind some of the sentences were powerful; with just a sentence about pink curtains was a sock to the gut and I immediately could feel the sorrow that lay in the main character's heart.
Human memory is not perfect, even more imperfect when affected by substances; the imperfectness frustrated me and had me begging to know more.
