Summary

We all tend to trust our memories to be true, not quite trusting the memories of others. Yet people make life and death decisions every day based on their memories. Beliefs are formed by memories, good and bad. Political beliefs, religious beliefs, relationships are all affected by memories. And most people trust their memories for the most part. It#xE2;#xAC;"s how they validate most of what they do. In #xE2;#xAC;SThe Glass,#xE2;#xAC; seventy-year-old Tristan Mann looks back over his life, reliving the hopes he always had for a good life, a life of purpose and meaning. Yet he has times when he sees glimpses of what has been, on occasion, a hell on earth. He tried to live his life seeing the glass as being at least half full, but it always seemed to end up empty. As he nears the end of his life, he discovers that even his good memories were not what they seemed. And the note that he appears to have been written to summarize his pessimistic view of life at his death eventually takes on a life of its own.
