In the narrator's family there is just one real grown man: his uncle Hissan, who has been a yakuza apprentice, a fugitive in Manila, a club waiter and a hit songwriter before retreating to a peninsula alone. The narrator, after a short try at working life, sinks into idle dependence at home, comes into easy money and roams India and Nepal.
