Does anyone know about a book about some guy who wakes up in some kind
of work camp, without his memory. The doctors piece together where he
comes from from his odd reactions to certain things like eating in
public (on his planet people ate together only with screens over the
lower half of the face - eating was about as socially acceptable as
excretion) and an exhileration in the dark (which, on his planet, was
the only time sexual activity was acceptable - men would put on masks
and go 'rape' a willing woman, if she chose him). When he returned, it
turned out that he had been put away because of some 'magic formula'
made by natives, and there was something about sibling rivalry and
inheritance, I think. It's been a long while, so I hope I've got what
details I remember right. 

				Thanks,
