Nine stories in which a writer behind the scenes takes up what never became fiction because no one was left to write it, searching for the truth hidden between the lines of records and documents. Each tries a different voice: spoken monologues, a report sent in letters by a nineteenth-century American who quotes Whitman, the prose of a Korean intellectual from the years of opening to the West, a story set in China that draws on classical Chinese verse, and one that crosses the Himalayas.
