Along the way, he encounters a cast of characters including his ex-wife, his current lover, and his closest friends. The novel is a poignant exploration of art, love, and the human condition.Had it been human, its breath would have suffocated him, so close was its invisible countenance to his. He could not move his legs or feet, or his left arm, but his right elbow, pushed out across the wideish arm of the char, had a little margin still. He drove his elbow out farther, then strained up a tense forearm and dug the lighted cigarette into the air directly in front of his own face. So complete was his consciousness of this terrible imponderable thing that he expected it to feel pain.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
