A philosopher fails to bring his theory of experience into line with his experience. A man fails to love a woman. Someone manages to go to a bar and watch a football match. A German philosophy student is in New York preparing a lecture, and his girlfriend travels after him to save their love. The novel is about the taste of coffee early in the morning and the problem of consciousness, about a child that is not born, about love and its disappearance, about what matters and what does not, and how to tell one from the other: about philosophy, and football.
