An elegant, haunting dystopian novel about individuals relearning how to navigate the world after a mysterious illness strips them of their memoriesNestled in an idyllic locale beside the sea, the Center is a place of rehabilitation for those afflicted by a strange illness that has swept through the population, erasing their memories and any sense of identity. Students arrive at the Center nameless-none of them know who they are or how they got there.Each day, they attend classes that will help them relearn the right ways to speak and live; they practice the roles they hope to assume once they graduate and return to society. In their free time, they negotiate a burgeoning social hierarchy and watch old videos together, stories of characters whose names they adopt: Maria, Chino, Ross, Chandler, Gunther . . . But as flashes of memories-of pets, lovers, errands, and beloved music-emerge, some students start to question the Center's strict instruction and begin to explore different ways in which they might define themselves.A stunning, intimately told story about what makes us who we are, The Definitions examines the limits of language, the power of connection, and how the human spirit can flourish even under the most oppressive conditions.

An elegant and haunting dystopian novel about a group of individuals gathered to relearn how to navigate the world after a mysterious illness strips them of their memories.Nestled in an idyllic locale beside the sea, The Centre is a place of rehabilitation and rebuilding. Students arrive nameless, their memories and sense of identity wiped by a strange illness.Each day, they attend classes that will help them relearn the right ways to speak and live; they practice the roles they'll assume once they've graduated and returned to society. In their free time, they negotiate a burgeoning social hierarchy and watch old videotapes together; stories of characters whose names they adopt: Maria, Chandler, Chino, Gunther... But as shards of memories - of pets, lovers, errands, and beloved music - begin to threaten the strict curriculum of The Centre, some students start to question the definitions given to them, and explore the ways in which they might define themselves.A stunning, intimately told story about what makes us who we are, The Definitions examines the limits of language, the power of human connection, and the ways the human spirit can flourish even under the most oppressive conditions."A terrifying glimpse at what happens when language, self and memory are taken from us. Shimmers with intelligence, terror and deep humanity." - Ben Pester, New York Times bestselling author of Dreyer's English"Deceptively gentle and ultimately devastating, The Definitions holds a delicate line between giving us enough to be utterly compelling and quietly paring back enough to keep us guessing. The Center, the narrator and the drifting language will haunt my thoughts, and my words, for some time." -Han Smith, author of Portraits at the Palace of Creativity and Wrecking, shortlisted for the 2024 Goldsmiths Prize"A thrilling novel that asks profound questions about love and language, selfhood and memory. One of those books that you want to read again as soon as you've finished, it consoles even as it frightens, appalls even as it reveals how much we have to treasure. It has earned its place on my shelf of favorite science fiction, alongside Ishiguro, Ravn, Butler, and Chiang." -Louisa Hall, author of Speak and Reproduction
