Summary: "The Thread of Flame" by Basil King is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around an unnamed protagonist who wakes up disoriented on a ship, struggling with memory loss and searching for his identity as he travels back to New York. As he interacts with other passengers, including a blind man named Drinkwater and a young woman named Lydia Blair, the protagonist grapples with feelings of alienation and the fragments of a life he cannot yet recall. The opening of the book introduces the protagonist awakening in a cramped cabin aboard a ship, confused about his past and the circumstances that led him there. He encounters Drinkwater, who is blind, and learns from him that he has been asleep for over twenty-four hours since boarding. As memories elude him, he tries to piece together his identity while navigating the ship and interacting with Drinkwater, who starts to consider him as a friend. The tension of absent memories mixed with the dynamics of forming new connections lays the groundwork for a story that explores themes of identity, belonging, and the search for one's place in the world amidst the chaos of modern life.
