Кръглата риба

The story begins in the 1960s in a narrow street of New York's Chinatown, where an old Chinese woman dies and her soul sets out on a long journey through time and through other people. Decades later, and ending in Florida, its path crosses that of Ramiel, an angel who may be one of the Watchers, the two hundred angels God banished to earth and chained in caves, whose punishment of seventy generations may now have run out. Marvin, a former secret agent who tells the whole story, has made catching Ramiel his obsession. Around them gather the people of several American towns, a one-eyed Czech musician, a Cuban emigrant, an antiques dealer devoted to electronic music, an autistic young man and an obsessive retired art teacher, their lives entangled with Hawking, Einstein, John Dee and the Order of the Golden Dawn as the world seems to near its end.
