Summary
What makes up a person? The atoms of their body? The people that surround them, the company they keep? Their opinions and memories? Their likes and dislikes? Their name and date of birth? It could be any of those things depending on who is being asked, alone or in combination. It could be all of those things together.
Courtland Gentry wakes up wet, scared and naked on a fishing boat in the dead of night. Not knowing who he is, where he is and why he's there, he's not even sure he'd call himself a person in the first place. Paranoia and fear, the urge to overcome the mystery of his own existence, drive him across Europe in a mad chase for information and identity. What he finds along the way is so much more than he could have predicted.
/In all people I see myself, none more and not one a barley-corn less,/And the good or bad I say of myself I say of them.//I know I am solid and sound,.../ (Song of Myself. Whitman, 1892)
