Indeed, having a superior autobiographical memory can prove devastatingly problematic, as Fawcett and Hulbert observed in their discussion of Jill Price. And Price is not the exception. Luria and Solotaroff provided a moving portrait of a man who was also controlled by his memories rather than being in control of them. For Fawcett and Hulbert, forgetting offers a means of mastering what we remember, supplying a needed control. I assume that when they used the term forgetting, they are not necessarily referring to the total erasure of a memory, but a substantial decrease in accessibility. Forgetting occurs for them, presumably, when memories that previously readily came to mind—even hauntingly—now remain inaccessible. The result, they averred, can be an increase in serenity, stability, clarity, revision, abstraction, inspiration, and rediscovery.
