Summary

"Itrs"s safe to say your relationship is in trouble if the only way you can imagine solving your problems is by borrowing a time machine." In 2006 comic book dealer John Sherkston has decided to break up with his physicist boyfriend, Taylor Esgard. This decision comes on the very day Taylor announces hers"s finally perfected a time machine for the U.S government. John travels back to 1986, where he encounters "Junior," his younger, more innocent self. When Junior starts to flirt, John wonders how to reveal his identity: "Irs"m you, only with less hair and problems you canrs"t imagine." He also meets up with the younger Taylor, and this unlikely trio teams up to plot a course around their future relationship troubles, prevent Johnrs"s sister from making a tragic decision, and stop George W. Bush from becoming president. In this wickedly comic, cross-country, time-bending journey, John confronts his own-and the nationrs"s-blunders, learning that a second chance at changing things for the better also brings new opportunities to screw them up. Through edgy humor, time travel, and droll one-liners, Bob Smith examines family dysfunction, suicide, New York City, and recent American history while effortlessly blending domestic comedy with science fiction. Part acidic political satire, part wild comedy, and part poignant social scrutiny,Remembrance of Things I Forgotis an uproarious adventure filled with sharp observations about our recent past.

Excerpts

“The prospect of meeting my younger self made me feel awkwardly shy and embarrassed. I tried to think of how I would introduce myself: ‘I’m you, only with sagging flesh and problems you can’t imagine!’ That would win him over. Would he even recognize me? He would have to be disappointed by my appearance. No one wants to see how much hair he’ll lose and weight he’ll gain. I still had muscular arms and a firm chest, but had reached the age where every time I was photographed there was a fifty-fifty chance of a slight double chin vandalizing my portrait.”––excerpt fromRemembrance of Things I Forgot
