29 yr old Rowen awakes in the ICU after an accident, no longer able to recognize faces, even of those closest to her. Prosopagnosia, the doctors say. Face recognition blindness. It may just be temporary, they say.
She hopes returning home to familiarity and routine will reorganize the scrambled and smudged faces. It doesn’t.
The inability to recognize anyone in her life begins to have drastic affects on her relationships, so she starts to build memories and associations that allow her to recognize not only her friends and family, but her own reflection. But as her memory constructs become more elaborate and the ways she, and her relationships have dramatically shifted, her friends and family grow increasingly concerned and impatient, pushing her to return to the “real” world.
The Mansion of Many Apartments explores the nature of identity, memory, and where autonomy and community blur.
