Recall, retention and the ordinary panic of a name that will not come: Nathaniel Hamstead works a narrow patch of ground and shows no interest in wandering off it. The Forgetfulness Cure and The Memory Reset Method share a subject, a narrator and almost exactly the same running time, which suggests a deliberate format rather than a coincidence.
That format is the interesting part. Each runs to a little over an hour, placing them closer to a long podcast episode than to a conventional self-help audiobook. It is a shape with obvious appeal for the subject in hand: material about memory is easier to act on when it arrives in a single unhurried sitting rather than spread across an afternoon of chapters that all begin to sound alike.
