Abstract | Florian Amidon is a shy bachelor from Wisconsin, who suddenly finds himself on a train to Manhattan with no memory of the previous five years. Amidon discovers that, during his blackout, he had lived as Eugene Brassfield—a smooth-talking oilman, hypocrite, and womanizer, engaged to the most beautiful woman in his new town, the fictitious Bellevale, Rockoil County, Pennsylvania. Amidon enlists the help of a hypnotist to reconcile his two identities. |
