Greg Weeks, Mary Meehan and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Transient" by Ward Moore is a novel likely written in the late 20th century. The story introduces us to Governor Almon Lampley, who is exploring a small, seemingly forgotten town, reflecting on his past as he attempts to not only connect with his memories but also navigate the complexities of his current life. The book likely delves into themes of nostalgia and change, exploring Lampley's interactions and the town's decline as a representation of broader societal shifts. The opening portion of the novel sets the stage for Lampley’s visit to the hotel in this struggling town. As he arrives, he reminisces about his younger days, contrasting the vibrant past with the contemporary decay surrounding him. Through various encounters and observations, readers witness Lampley’s internal struggle as he grapples with feelings of regret, nostalgia, and detachment from both his past and the present. The juxtaposition of his memories with the unkempt surroundings serves to highlight his emotional state and foreshadows a deeper exploration of his character throughout the narrative. The unsettling interactions with the hotel staff and the odd ambiance contribute to a sense of surrealism that prompts the reader to question the nature of reality and perception as the story unfolds.
