According To Our Records is Edward Sennet's first novel. Set in Seattle of 1981 when computers were found in business or govenment and telephones were on a desk, wall or in a booth. We follow Chris, a naive young man, on his own, who left his home town for a brighter future. But he is haunted by a record that he feels has hamstrung his life and limited his oportunities. Finally settling into a downtown hotel apartment house populated by a eclectic collection of misfits he finds some acceptance. Loneliness overcoming his shyness he finds mixed success in searching for love. He awkwardly develops a plan to break through the barries in his life, both personal and as a member of society. Woven into the setting and characters is a portrait of how American society uses information and misinformation and sometimes there is no clear solution.
