Everything I Don't Remember (Swedish: Allt jag inte minns) is a 2015 novel by Swedish writer Jonas Hassen Khemiri. Main characters are Samuel, Laide, Vandad, and "The Panther". The book is a reconstruction of the last years of Samuel's life, before his death in a car crash. In the book, the author transcribed his interviews with Laide, Vandad "The Panther" and other people who he came across, for example his grandmother's neighbour and also a nurse who assisted his grandmother. At the end of the book, the reader understands that the author chose to write this book as a way to cope with a loss of his own. It won the August Prize in 2015 [1]

In 2019, the novel was filmed as a miniseries directed by Beata Gårdeler with the same name.
