Anne Tyler’s new book Noah's Compass
is out today. It reportedly has a character who is a “professional rememberer.”
Is there such a profession? Would the person perform functions that family members of people with memory loss often do? Or is there more involved?
I’ll have to read the book.

Oh yes, there are professional rememberers -- there also called care givers.
Remembering a persons past for them is a very important way to keep connected and to have a person enjoy those memories.
It works.
