Memory is an essential element of writing, fact or fiction. But it exerts a more powerful influence on some writers than on others. George Garrett, author of more than 25 books and recipient of major awards, reveals in this book many of the events and anecdotes that have impacted on his life: his colorful childhood, family history, participation in sports, military service and his peripatetic career as a college professor among them. In his writing, these take on a universal symbolism, however; "I am more than the facts of my life," he says.

In 1983, Gloria Naylor won the American Book Award for first fiction for "The Women of Brewster Place." "Bailey's Cafe," her fourth novel, is set in a mythical eating place that never closes, and because it is operated by its unnamed present owner and his wife, Nadine, under its original name, he is known as "Bailey." Bailey's Cafe attracts a wide variety of personalities that have come to its door from many parts, all with a sad story to share. Among those who congregate are Eve, the mistress of an establishment where only fresh flowers are acceptable as payment for services; Peaches, whose badly scarred face is in sharp contrast to her perfect body; Sadie, addicted to alcohol and beset by a compulsion to cleanliness; Miss Maple, a mathematics Ph.D.

GRAFTON MAN'S BODY FOUND YORK - A Grafton businessman's body was found partly inside a septic tank truck parked behind the Food Lion supermarket at Patriot's Square on Route 17 about 10 p.m. Thursday, police said. Richard White's lower face and neck was broken and crushed by the compactor, which operates like a dump truck, said Sheriff P.S. Williams. Williams didn't know how long White, 45, owner of R.C. White Septic Tank Co., had been dead when police arrived just before 11 p.m. There was no evidence of foul play and White may have died accidentally, he said.

Under Anheuser-Busch Cos. Inc.'s stewardship, Shamu the killer whale may become a marketing sensation like Spuds MacKenzie, the brewer's famous party animal. Yet if Shamu's name goes up in lights - or if it is emblazoned on T-shirts or coffee mugs - Anheuser-Busch may be sharing royalties with a little-known California company. The St. Louis company, which is buying the Sea World parks from Orlando, Fla.-based Harcourt Brace Jovanovich Inc., said last week that it will not own all the marketing rights to Shamu and other Sea World characters when the sale closes later this month.

Busch Entertainment Corp., the owner of Busch Gardens theme parks, hopes to begin construction this year on a $300 million theme park and resort in Spain. The company, a subsidiary of Anheuser-Busch Cos. Inc. in St. Louis, submitted a proposal this month to the regional government of Catalonia on the northeastern coast of Spain. It said it expects a response from Catalonia officials by late June. Busch Entertainment has told the government that the park would open by the time the 1992 Summer Olympic Games begin in Barcelona, Spain.
