As penance for a wrong he once did, a man condemned himself to ten centuries alone in his room. One morning he decides to go out and repair it. The cycle is to have ten parts; the two published here, numbered one and seven, follow his way to that goal by different routes, returning to the same ground with changes, full of incidents of every kind and driven by restless, spiralling prose. Whatever his error, the wish to undo a fault is shared by all of us.
