Review of "New Finnish Grammer"

by Roger on Fri 6th Jan 2017.

An excellent mediation on the nature of self as defined by memory and language. Plus a commentary on how reality is an artificial construct as illustrated by the sections written by the doctor - the book is presented as the doctor's recovery of the sailor's journal of his time in Finnland.
