Since being barred from his post at the university, David Svarthed has little to steady him beyond a cat that calls by and an unfinished study of Homer's Iliad. Then he falls on the ice, and the edges of everything begin to blur until he is facing a different reality. With absurd comedy, the novel follows a man who has lost his hold on life as he searches for what has gone missing, amid events that obey dream logic.
