Very easy and very fast ;-) I will send a PM to the winner, so remember to not leave anonymous comments!

Eric is the author of THE REST IS ILLUSION, SUBSURDITY, SUBURBILICIOUS, SIMPLE MEN, GALLEY PROOF, WOKE UP IN A STRANGE PLACE, and various other sundry and not-so-sundry writings.

Joe wakes up in a barley field with no clothes, no memories, and no idea how he got there. Before he knows it, he's off on the last great journey of his life. With his soul guide Baker and a charge to have courage from a mysterious, alluring, and somehow familiar Stranger, Joe sets off through a fantastical changing landscape to confront his past. The quest is not without challenges. Joe's past is not always an easy thing to relive, but if he wants to find peace-and reunite with the Stranger he is so strongly drawn to-he must continue on until the end, no matter how tempted he is to stop along the way.

This sounds fantastic and I confess for a moment I entertained a Cowboy And Aliens like phantasy... Please count me in! I've always been intrigued by amnesia.

I already own it, but I recommend it highly.

I got clued into Arvin by his boyfriend, TJ Klune. I read this a week or two ago and absolutely loved it. It's thought-provoking, visual, experiential and ultimately satisfying. Posters - if you don't win then buy and read this anyway. You won't regret it.
