Lying at the base of this novel is the forty-two lettered name of God significant to kabbalists since medieval times. This name starts with the first letter of the Hebrew Bible and ends with the forty-second. Considered to be the blueprint of creation, the novel explores this name, using it as a base to expand into other names associated with God in kabbalist tradition, and extending further into mystical philosophies of the far East. A mythical story in its own right, the novel includes an extensive set of footnotes affording the reader the opportunity to delve into the world of linguistic kabbalah and its source texts.
