The Man Who Forgot is an alcoholic who got himself to a point where he is unable to recall his own name or anything at all about his past. After a sobering experience that changes his life, he decides to forever give up drinking and turns temperance evangelist. Getting listed as John Smith, he dedicates his life to fight against alcohol and becomes dazzling agitator for nationwide prohibition. Smith campaigns across Washington preaching soberness, believed to be the truly great man... James Hay, Jr. (1881-1936) was American novelist and journalist, born in Harrisonburg, Virginia. Most of his books are crime mysteries and detective stories, some of which are set in Asheville, place where he spent part of his life, and worked as an editor in the Asheville Citizen magazine. Some of his other detective novels have their settings in Washington, where Hay spent his final years. Hay was the founder of the National Press Club, and had friendly relations with presidents Wilson and Taft.

Autorenporträt
James Hay is not among the most widely recognized names in the literary world, but his contribution is characterized by a distinctive blending of psychological introspection and speculative narrative. Best known for his seminal work, 'The Man Who Forgot', Hay delves into the depths of memory and identity, crafting a tale that both engages and challenges his readers. Little is known about Hay's personal life or his broader literary canon, making 'The Man Who Forgot' not just a novel but also a partial cipher to understanding his unique style. Hay's prose is marked by a reflective tone aimed at eliciting a deeper understanding of the human condition, with a penchant for exploring the enigmatic nature of the mind. While his literary output might not be extensive or widely documented, Hay's work resonates with those who appreciate nuanced character studies and the exploration of existential themes. Unfortunately, due to the paucity of available biographical information and a bibliography that appears limited, Hay's standing in the literary community may be more that of an enigmatic figure rather than a household name, which perhaps aligns with the mysterious essence captured in 'The Man Who Forgot'.
