Hey, I just located the short story! It was published by Esquire magazine and is online at their site:
http://www.esquire.com/features/articles/001323_mfr_memento_1.html
Not only that, but (of course) an entire online cult following has sprung up. I discovered this by reading some letters writtent to Salon.com about an article on the movie. Long discussions speculating on all aspects of the film. People even used video to look closely at the documents in Leonard's police file, and there is lots of discussion about the contents.
In addition, the official memento site
now has a "clipping" of a news article about the character--you have to take a look.
I don't know if the memento site has been posting different clues, etc. but this is so fascinating.
Apparently the character in the story (and in the newspaper article) had been a patient in a psychiatric hospital. Hmmm....
But I am so glad I didn't see any of this before seeing the film--it would have ruined it for me, I think.
Have to read more of the salon article.
