Random Access Memory Stillson Graham Helen is a burned-out Albanian artist. Drazny is a bumbling police detective. Both are in America trying to escape memories of their pasts in different ways, but end up confronting each other and themselves. This literary mystery explores different aspects of memory and the way we view ourselves. A tale of redemption, computers, and hotdogs told in a style that is both ruthless and lighthearted.  $16 ISBN: 0-9769049-0-X ISBN13: 978-0-9769049-0-8 2006 Stillson Graham bio

"Being a lover of noirish genres, computer-related fiction, and quests for identity in and through corrupted memories, I resonated with all of the threads... What aspects did I relish? The clarity of the prose, the complexity of the characters, the realistic rather than romanticized... interplay of real war and life, and the interiors of people more clearly illuminated in all their lights and shadows.

As I was reading it, I kept saying to myself, 'I am loving this book.' I seldom read any fiction any more that makes me sorry with each page that the book has less ahead than behind. So it really pleased me that I could enjoy this novel so genuinely."
