The hero of the novel, a quiet man of mild temper, sets out to recover the memories he has pushed away in order to understand the secret that has shaped his life. His search, recorded partly in a diary, moves inward rather than outward: through childhood and growing up, through violence and trauma, through an illness that may be real or imagined, and on to hypnosis and questions of reincarnation and the migration of souls. As his complex psychological portrait slowly surfaces, illness becomes a metaphor both for the individual and for the society around him.
