The novel returns to a seemingly bygone era in which refinement was thought harmful and the life of the spirit was forced into a foreign mould. Its young poet finishes a poem exactly at midnight, without corrections, and with it pronounces his beloved Thea dead: he can no longer recall her face, her voice or her scent, and he keeps asking whether he is now free. Laughing through tears, the book is a painful grotesque of youth seen in crooked mirrors, and a kind of revenge for feelings that were crushed but survived.
